A Moss Dryad is an underground version of the Dryad fey that resides in forests. This fey is a bit more quiet and reserved, as they are often near horrific monsters who are constantly hunting & killing. They maintain a distance from the evils while engaging in their fun.
They are usually dressed more conservatively, in grey robes, that covers their body and hair. When they are comfortable and feel safe they often disrobe to hop into warm baths. They have bright green hair, eyes and fingernails. Most try to maintain a pale white skin, but it is difficult as they need an equal measure of both sunlight and moonlight. They are often gifted magic items from adventurers they help, so most will have magicked daggers, bows or armor granting devices.
Moss Dryads require a bed of moss, but since few know much about the plant that grows almost everywhere their presence can be missed for years before they are ever noticed. Moss Dryads maintain good relationships with a variety of creatures, not just good or neutral aligned ones. While generally peaceful, many Moss Dryads have gone on sprees of retaliation on vile residents of the caves if their friends are killed.
