ECOLOGY

Environment forests
Organization solitary

Nymphs are fey spirits of nature. They act as guardians to sacred groves, natural beauty, and portals to the faerie realm. As guardians of nature, nymphs often have a variety of magical powers that allow them to control and manipulate natural plants and animals.

Nymphs are always female, possessing incredible beauty that is dangerous to behold. As such, they are the frequent target of satyrs and lecherous human males. A nymph is willing to share her charms with those who show her and her realm respect and care. Otherwise, many find the lovely nymph to be a capable and dangerous adversary.
