Dryad

The Dryad is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following criteria have been met:
 * There is an empty House.
 * Any boss except for King Slime, Wall of Flesh, and has been defeated.

In addition to selling items, the Dryad can report the percentages of Corruption/Crimson vs. Hallow that exist in the current world.

When enemies are nearby, the Dryad will periodically grant the Dryad's Blessing buff to players in the vicinity and displays a leaf barrier effect. The buff grants +8 defense, and gives the player contact damage. Enemies touching the leaf circle of the barrier will take 1 point of damage per second, more if you defeated more bosses (and x1.5 during Expert mode).

World status
The Dryad's reports on Corruption/Crimson/Hallow coverage are accompanied by a status message. She considers Hallow "good", and Corruption or Crimson "bad". The Dryad makes the distinction between Corruption and Crimson if they are present in the same world, and will list their percentages separately, though they both contribute to the overall "bad" total in her final report.

Tips

 * For players creating housing for the Truffle, it would be beneficial to temporarily house the Dryad in or near a Mushroom biome where she will sell Mushroom Seeds.


 * If you can't build a house you can use a Queen Statue to teleport her to a Mushroom biome.
 * Another way to get Mushroom Seeds is to use Boulders or Land Mines to kill the Dryad and make the only valid house in a underground mushroom biome.

Names
The Dryad may have any of the following names:
