Dryad

A Dryad is a spirit that lives inside of a tree. The first Dryads in Castlevania protruded suddenly from the trunk of the tree like a human-shaped branch. The Dryad's tree in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon emitted seeds that slowly moved towards you. The Dryad formed the shape of a woman in the upper trunk of the tree in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
