Temperament and Biology
Dryads are outgoing in nature; often bonding and forming pseudo families that all share a single tree.
Dryads live on trees, burrowing into thick vines to make nests. They will not harm the bark or inside of the tree save for gathering food. The dryad's diet mostly consist of insects. A dryad may also from time to time be found nesting in dead/dry leaves around the base of a small/young tree. They feed off said tree and care for the roots in order to help it grow. These smaller "ground" nests hold anywhere from 1-5 Dryads depending on the tree's size and age. Some Dryads are even known to leave their nest at a young age and find a tree to grow. They stay with that tree until death.
They pair very closely to trees (as in they are one and the same living in symbiotic harmony.) The dryad courtship rituals involve the gifting of a tree seed to the partner wyrm.
