Ecology
Mountain Dryad is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in hill regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Mountain Dryad is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Mountain Dryad is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Fey trace to the Feywild and the eternal courts of the seasons — the Seelie and Unseelie, or older powers. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
