Dryad

s are legendary woods dwellers who assume the forms of trees during the day and the shapes of beautiful s at night. A mortal male who ventures into a dryad’s (which are dotted throughout ) at night, may be charmed by their  to dally, as a lover, for a year and a day, with little or no memory thereafter of what transpired. Except for stealing a man’s time, they are relatively harmless unless rejected or offended.
