Talk:Dryad

"It was believed that the Dryad would only move into wood based rooms, though it is false, but might be implemented. " any reliable source for that??

 * The code doesn't have any special requirements for any NPCs as far as housing goes. --GauHelldragon 08:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Dryad does not sell worm teeth during blood moons, she sells corrupt seeds. Basically Grass is swapped for corrupt seeds, and cleansing powder is swapped for vile powder.

Changed requirements in 1.0.6?
I created a new character & new (large) world after 1.0.6 was released. I've killed the Eye of Cthulhu twice now, once from a trigger based spawn & once from using a suspicious looking eye to spawn it. I have 5 NPC houses plus my own but even though I've played many days since the last EoC kill, the Dryad still hasn't spawned. The 4 NPC's I have (Guide, Merchant, Nurse & Demolitionist) move between the 5 houses each night so they are all definitely available as houses & my own house has a workbench, bed & light sources which also fulfil the house requirements (I had to deconstruct the workbench to get the merchant to move). Is it possible her requirements have been stealth changed for 1.0.6 or could it just be a random bug? --Malibu Stacey 00:29, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, either a bug or you're doing something wrong. Requirements are still the same. --Lunboks 00:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Confirmed: It IS a reference to My Little Pony.
Yes, the name "Celestia" IS a reference to My Little Pony.

It relates to Princess Celestia, one of the characters. 99.229.105.15 14:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC) '

No, just because you see it there doesn't mean it's a reference from it. You'll need actual proof like a dev quote. If anything, it's a reference to the fact that the druids from english history, who wear clothing made of products of nature, worshiped the sun, a celestial body. 101.165.197.162 01:26, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

More Bark Than Bite
Apparently, a dryad is a part tree, part human creature from Greek mythology. So the quote about more bark than bite is a reference to her very nature. In fact, the word "dryad" comes from the Greek word for oak, dryos.

Jungle Grass Seeds in the Jungle?
Just wondering if anyone has or can test whether she sells jungle grass seeds in the jungle biome, since she sells mushroom grass seeds in the mushroom biome. -- Camelotcrusade (talk) 20:47, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Requirements wrong - costume, pumpkin seeds and more
I have a 1.2 pre hard mode world with the dryad and she is not selling and haven't seen her selling as far as I can remember: Pumpkin seeds Dryad coverings Dryad Loincloth

 * On topic, are you sure you set your time to/it is halloween time for the Dryad coverings and loincloth? FunAlways (talk) 01:41, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Comparison quotes
Should all of the quotes for Corruption vs Hallow comparison levels be listed? Just something I've thought of. Davovo (talk) 23:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think so. It only makes sense to include all the quotes the NPCs say. Summoningdark (talk) 23:45, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, especially with the new lines added in 1.2.3. Sodapone (talk) 02:35, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Corruption and crimson
I created an artificial corruption in a world with the crimson, and after hardmode started, my dryad said " is 8% hallow, 1% corrupt, and 12% crimson. You have a lot of work to do." I think this is worth noting, so I'm adding it. Jjman740 (talk) 23:24, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Possible Percentage Bug?
I purified the entire surface of my world(all of it was hallow/corrupt), and a few large chunks of the underground as well. The dryads percentages stayed the same. I would think that I purified at least ONE percent of the world.. 73.183.107.198 21:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like I had to restart the world for the percentages to change.. not sure if that's new or I missed it all along. 73.183.107.198 02:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
