Dryad:
These forest residents feature some truly extraordinary traits. They are readily identifiable as giants, and in every aspect of their daily personal lives, you will find traces of vines. Their addiction to these climbing plants is mystifying, while their superb ability to raise almost any kind of insect makes them even more mysterious and magical. They are wild earth guardians who derive their power from the forest land.

Character traits:
Nearly all Dryads look tough, but despite a fierce appearance, they are caring and friendly to all creatures in nature and they adore all that is beautiful. Every Dryad heart will be stirred by the sight of deep green foliage in its natural environment. Dryads, male and female, look for hope in the midst of calamity. They are natural optimists and have keen sense of humor, and are adept at pulling harmless pranks and playing jokes. For observers, it seems like their lives consist of simply vines and making jokes, but as many have discovered, never irritate a Dryad. Their mood can quickly change and transform them from a loving creature into a raging devil.

Culture:
Dryads are powerful because they are ardent disciples of nature’s power. In their culture, they have reached the realization that their survival depends on their ability to harmonize with nature, and they hold a deep-rooted belief in the 'survival of the fittest'. They constantly strive for self-improvement, even as their natural environment changes. Looking back at their long history, Dryads had even changed their physical make-up to adapt correctly to their environment. For entertainment, they prefer singing, reading poems or painting, and usually pass time in some form of artistic pursuit.

Technology:
In Dryad's society, biotechnology has been developed thoroughly, and their research into genetics has impacted on their manufacturing capabilities. They have devised a number of products that use genetics as their basis, using and altering natural substances to produce what they need. They believe that by adhering to nature, they can avoid negative side-effects to users and the environment from unnatural industries.

Profile:
Male Dryads are 2 to 2.5 meters tall. But they look smaller because they always hunch their bodies while walking. They weigh approximately 130kg. Female Dryads have an average height of 1.5 meters and weight around 55kg. The large difference in body size between male and female Dryads produces diversification in their physical appearances. Male Dryads have rubbery skin and are muscular green giants with curly hair, sturdy shoulders and big hands with solid fingers. Female Dryads are attractive and feminine. All Dryads like to wear tight fitting clothes made of metal, which represents longevity and will outlive many other forest residents. Their natural life span normally extends into thousands of years.

Habitation:
Dryads live in damp jungles. Their paradise is composed of veins and sharp thorns to keep intruders away from wrecking their peaceful lives.
