Ecology
Swamp 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 swamp regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Swamp Dryad is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Swamp Dryad is introduced in MCDM's Flee, Mortals! (2023). 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.
