About this mod
Dryads are forest nymphs, protectors of flowers and trees, guardians of the ancient woodlands and everything that germinates in their sacred soil. Unlike Spriggans, Dryads appear to be specifically connected to flora, while Spriggans have an equally deep connection to animals as they do to plants.

"Dryads are forest nymphs, protectors of flowers and trees, guardians of the ancient woodlands and everything that germinates in their sacred soil. Unlike Spriggans, Dryads appear to be specifically connected to flora, while Spriggans have an equally deep connection to animals as they do to plants.
Dryads are not particularly common in Skyrim, being a more frequent occurrence in High Rock, where they are worshiped by the Druids as a manifestation of the Green, the name given by them to the natural world and its order. Dryads are reputed to be more friendly to respectful humans than Spriggans are, and more likely to teach them the secrets of nature.
However, Dryads can also be found in Skyrim, where they are generally more hostile towards people less prone to a calm and contemplative nature, something that makes them not particularly fond of Nords.
The so-called Cyrodilic Spriggans, the type of Spriggans most frequently found in Cyrodiil, are actually cataloged as a type of Dryad, sharing with them a calmer nature, and a more human appearance. However, do not be fooled by the sweet appearance of a Dryad, as they can be fierce in combat, using their sharp and long claws made of hard wood, and summoning explosive Wisps containing toxic spores from the flowers and fungi of the forests in which they inhabit. They can also summon bears in battle to help them."

A former monster hunter, now a dedicated scholar, he is planned to be released as an NPC in late 2022/early 2023, doing the same job in-game as my descriptions do on Nexus.)
- 1 new creature, Dryad, in 3 variants: Evergreen Dryad, Autumnshade Dryad
and Gloomroot Dryad (this last one, apparently from Blackreach, only appears as a summon);
- 3 new spells to summon the 3 variants (the 3 spelltomes can be found on a
chest next to the big tree inside Eldergleam Sanctuary);
- 1 new ingredient: Dryad Sap
So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.
