Half-Dryad

Half-Dryad Race

Half-dryads are the rare offspring of a dryad and a humanoid—most typically an elf or a human. They have a strong proclivity for nature as a result of their fey lineage, and a tendency to rely on their charm and magic. Due to their mixed blood, the way their physical characteristics manifest can vary wildly, but most display some degree of feather-like hair and vines or branches seemingly woven into their flesh, especially along their limbs.

Giant Sprite Race

Subraces: Grig, Pixie, True Sprite

As their name suggests, giant sprites are a line of especially large faeries.

Etherean Race

Ethereans are humanoids who have been touched by the misty, ghostly energy of the Ethereal Plane.
