Dryas
The dryas of Greek myth, which is called a tree spirit. It seems that dryad from French is more well known. While normally it is common that they live in trees and don't show themselves before humans, there are also cases of them seducing human men who are then dragged into the trees. I looked into it, and it looks like the true form of the dryad is a spirit called a nymph. Nymphs have various designations, which are divided by the places they dwell. As such, nymphs dwelling in trees are called dryads. By the way, nymphe is Greek for "bride". ■This reached Daily Rank 28.
