One the most basic level, green humans. However, due to their isolated movements, they have become heavily covered with various plants, usually covering their torso and arms but sometimes almost completely burying themselves in it. These plants act as part of their body, they are able to feel anything they feel and control them naturally.
History[edit]
Dryads are an Early Race that survived with ease due to their ability to live within the plantlife that once dominated the planet. However, when the other races started growing, they became stripping forests to expand and remove monsters. This affected the dryads vastly, and the once peaceful creatures began a battle for their lives. Dryads removed themselves from outside contact and began guerilla tactics against civilizations. However, that is not to say they are not powerful, they occasionally will tear apart settlements with their abilities.
Dryads by and large are entirely removed from communication from anyone other than other Dryads, as most other species have difficulty grasping the idea of needing plantlife to live. However, some dryads are willing to give those who prove to be respectful to nature a shot, but they're rare to find. In either case, it's rare to actually see a dryad, they often hide quite literally deep within the woods and manipulate it to help or harm any passerbys.
Culture[edit]
Dryad culture heavily values plant life, as they are most reliant on it to live. Their villages tend to be surrounded by thorny vines, their homes literally inside tree trunks. As a result of the deforestation during the advancement of society, dryads numbers were unintentionally thinned and the majority remaining became militant in their defense. Dryads tend to go out of their way to harass or sabotage other races, believing if they're not a threat to them now they'll be one in the future.
Fashion[edit]
Dryad fashion tends to be pretty minimal, as they tend to cover themselves with various plants they can attach to their body. This rarely helps stabilize them, as several of the plants affect them as well as their enemies. They do not indulge explicitly in tattooing or piercings, although many plants emulate the physical appearance of either.
