'''Dryads''' are daughters of the demigod [[Cenarius]]. They monitor the health of [[Kalimdor]]’s forests, ever watchful against the depredations of evil magic. The creature has the head, arms, and torso of a beautiful night elf woman, but the lower body of a fawn. A gentle calm is evident in her eyes, but she hefts a spear with practiced skill. It doesn’t look like she wants to use the spear in her hand — but if she had to, she could.<ref name="ReferenceC">{{ref book |author=Borgstrom, Rebecca |coauthors=Eric Brennan, Genevieve Cogman, and Michael Goodwin |title=[[Manual of Monsters]] |isbn=978-1588-4607-07 |pages=22}}</ref><ref name="ReferenceA">{{ref book |author= White Wolf |title= [[Alliance Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467737 |pages=206}}</ref>

Allies of the night elves, dryads are the daughters of the demigod Cenarius. They are peaceful by nature and despise violence; however, like ancients, night elves, and their brothers the keepers of the grove, dryads fight to protect the forests and their allies. They are particularly adept at destroying magic and are immune to its effects. Most dryads remain in the forests, frolicking with the animals, dancing in the rain, and occasionally bringing nature’s wrath onto their enemies. Some dryads, however, leave their forests and become adventurers. For some, encounters with hostile forces spark this desire — they wish to bring the fight to the enemies of nature. Others are curious about the world outside their forests, and wish to experience new environments and meet new beings. Other dryads and night elves see adventuring dryads as a bit less unusual than adventuring ancients. Dryads possess an innate streak of curiosity, after all. However, adventuring dryads are still branded as eccentrics who go against the natural tendencies of their kind.<ref name="ReferenceB">{{ref book |author= White Wolf |title= [[Alliance Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467737 |pages=28}}</ref> Dryads are peaceful watchers of the forest. They are friends of the night elves and defenders of nature. Daughters of Cenarius, they somewhat resemble centaurs, their cursed brethren. Dryads enjoy play and frolic in the forests. Despite the fact that dryads abhor violence, they fought alongside their night elf allies in the Third War and continue to protect the forests against the depredations of the Scourge, the Burning Legion and other intruders. They focus their efforts particularly against hostile magic.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

While dryads are peaceful with all inhabitants of the forest, they can be fierce defenders against those who would do harm to nature.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> Dryads are peaceful, but they fight to protect nature and in defense of their night elf allies. They hurl their spears at close range (most dryads carry five or six spears), closing to melee when they run out of ammunition. In a serious engagement, one or two dryads flee to summon help from ancients, keepers of the grove or night elves, while the others delay their opponents. A dryad’s magical nature coats her weapons with a painful and debilitating poison. Dryads attempt to weaken their enemies to the point where their gear weighs them down, forcing them to move slowly and making them vulnerable.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

===Parentage===
 
−
The first dryads are the daughters of Cenarius, and sisters of his sons ([[Zaetar]], [[Remulos]], "the centaur", etc). Later, dryads were born from his "favored children", the dryads and keepers. Cenarius' daughter known as "the dryad" mothered dryads, and Remulos fathered dryads as well.<ref>{{ref book |author= Bennie, Scott |coauthors= Richard Farrese, Bob Fitch |title= [[Horde Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467720 |pages=209}}</ref>

===Culture===
 
−
Dryads usually speak Darnassian. Dryads find it useful to know the languages of the races with which they are most likely to come into contact. These languages include Common, Low Common, and Taur-ahe.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>
 
−  
−
A dryad has wild empathy and can use body language, vocalizations, and demeanor to improve the attitude of an animal (such as a [[badger]] or a [[tallstrider]]). The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. The dryad must be within thirty feet of the target animal and under normal conditions. A dryad can use this ability to influence a magical beast with low intelligence (such as a [[darkmantle (monster)|darkmantle]] or a [[girallon]]).<ref name="ReferenceC"/>

[[Unbound Dryad]]s can be found in [[Crystalsong Forest]]. Unlike other dryads, their coloration is not like that of woodland trees. They are most likely this way as a result of the same dragon magic that overtook much of the forest.

An apparent evolution from dryads, called [[frost nymph]]s, exists in Northrend.
