Dryads are elves whose tree was cut down or otherwise "killed". In such a situation elf becomes some kind of a tree himself, loses it's personality and becomes a mindless hand of nature's retribution. Typical dryad is 7 feet tall, thin human-shaped entity with "skin" of wood and bark with sharp branches growing from around its body, especially head. They attack anyone whom they encounter except the elves and other dryads. They do possess a ability similar to the Charm person spell.
