Dryad - Mokosh DK

Dryad is a variegated colourway with tones of light and dark green, green and subtle warm brown speckles. 

While nowadays we use the term dryad more broadly to mean tree spirits or tree nymphs, a Dryad (Greek: Δρυάς) is an oak tree nymph or oak tree spirit in Greek mythology 🌿

Distinct from other Greek goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as personifications of nature; they are typically tied to a specific place, landform, or tree, and are usually depicted as maidens. They were often seen as having healing properties; other divine powers of the nymphs included divination and shapeshifting. They are often attendants of goddesses and frequently occur in myths with a love motif, being the lovers of heroes and other deities.
