Naiad
Naiads are fey nymphs who live in and protect freshwater areas, particularly rivers.12
Appearance
Naiads, like other nymphs, have features resembling elves1 They are lithe, thin, and elegant, with skin that appears to be made of water and hair that flows like a river. They tend to be of medium height and dress themselves in natural items such as leaves and reeds found near the bodies of water to which they are bonded.3[citation needed]
Culture
Naiads often congregate in small groups similar to covens near river confluences.2 However, they are among the few nymphs to venture out to become adventurers, and often do so to counter a corrupting threat to their lands.12
Language
Naiads typically can speak Common tongues as well as the Elven, Fey, and Thalassic languages.2 They can also empathically communicate with animals.12
