Dryad

The  is a NPC (Non-playable character) that will move into an empty house once you've killed a boss. The easiest bosses to kill would be the Eye of Cthulhu or the Eater of Worlds. The Dryad reveals in conversation that she is 500 years old. She's one of six female NPCs, the other ones being the Nurse, the Steampunker, the Party Girl, the Stylist, and the Mechanic. The Dryad can tell you the percentage of Corruption/Crimson vs. Hallow in the world. She does not drop any items upon death.

{{collapse|Dryad's Quotes|"Whats this about having more 'bark' than bite?"

"So two goblins walk into a bar, and one says to the other, 'Want to get a Goblet of beer?'

"You must cleanse this world of this Corruption."

"The sands of time are flowing. And well, you are not aging very gracefully..."

"Be safe; Terraria needs you!"

"Have you seen the Old Man walking around the dungeon? He doesn't look well at all..." (Only when the Clothier is not present)

"I wish (Arms Dealer Name) would stop flirting with me, doesn't he realise I'm 500 years old?" (Only if Arms Dealer is present)

"Why does (Merchant Name) keep trying to sell me an Angel Statue? Everyone knows that they don't do anything." (Only if Merchant is present)

"I feel like (Truffle Name) is a bit misunderstood, he really is a fun guy." Truffle and Dryad seem to know each other well.

On Blood Moon
"It is a evil moon tonight. Be careful."

"I sell what I want! If you don't like it, too bad."

"Why do you have to be so confrontational during a time like this?"

"Dude, is it just me or is there like a million zombies out tonight?"

"I don't want you to buy my stuff. I want you to want to buy my stuff, ok?

Corruption vs. Hallow
"You should try harder" (tested at 2% hallow vs 7% corruption, 5%/15%)

"Keep up the good work!" When the world is just hallow. (tested at 17% hallow vs 6% corruption, 50%/4% and 92%/1%)

"Things are grim indeed" (tested at 2% hallow vs 12% corruption, 1%/53% and 1%/92%)

At 0% corruption she will just say " is x% hallowed. Keep up the good work!" (tested at 97% hallow vs 0% corruption)

"We are living in a fairy tale" when the world is really Hallow. (tested at 44% hallow vs 1% corruption and 1% crimson.) and (24% Hallow vs 2% Corrupt)}}

Bugs

 * Sometimes, the Dryad will tell you that your world is 0% corrupt, even when it has Corruption in it.
 * In the iOS version of Terraria during a Blood Moon, the Dryad will not move or be able to be talked to.
