Description Common Dryads from around the globe.


A. Outback Dryad
Hulking and durable, these evergreen, ever alert, dryads are the friends and protectors of the animals in the forest they inhabit. Adventurers are advised to give them a wide birth, as their personal space is huge. If threatened they are liable to spit bees or attempt to crush anyone nearby. Known for destroying campsites. Lacks the pleasant singing voice of most nymphs.

B. Island Dryad
Spend their days singing to themselves, dancing in the breeze and observing the world around them. One of the more solitary and sanguine dryad species. Their carefree existence and ample free time make them indispensable sources of wisdom and information about the immediate area. Unfortunately it is impossible to get a straight answer out of them. Will occasionally playfully attack those who spend too long around it but only once.

C. Eastern Dryad
Generally considered by adventurers, (especially those versed in the book of nine swords) to be the most enchanting of dryads. Timid, graceful and polite, but not to be taken lightly. While it will never attack physically, the Eastern Dryad is extremely, theatrical, needy and manipulative. Eastern Dryads are notoriously insecure and refuse to do anything alone, generally traveling with packs of at least 7 of their own kind, often more. In larger numbers they use their influence and grace to convince adventurers to imbibe alcoholic drinks of increasing size and potency over the course of an evening. The resulting excess can cause sickness, injury and even death of party members. At best, the adventurers will embarrass themselves terribly and likely find a lot of their items missing. The Eastern Dryad has no need for money or jewels, but collects them as a matter of habit.

...One usually gets milk by cracking a coconut /open./

Or from holes.

I'd rather just admire, rather than contemplate things that may end up breaking my brain.

Damn Outback dryad nearly put a hole in my car and my tent. So I left her in piece. Also, her Koalas were loud in the moring.

The Island Dryad is quite impressive; I can almost hear her going "yah, mon."

Of course, your art is still as pleasant as always.

As dryads, they are set in a fantasy setting not Australia per se.

Hey hang on a moment here, what variant of Dryad is Wissil? She doesn't quite seem to fit into the three categories here.

Is she perhaps a European Dryad? Or is her variant now extinct, ergo you couldn't find one to document here?

Mr-Culexus In reply to Cylexus [2009-04-04 22:57:38 +0000 UTC]

This is an ongoing thing. Wissils breed will be seen next time.

Very interesting, love the colours and their styles in general. Only qualm is that the Island Dryad's right arm must have one hell of a short lower-arm.
