The dryad gives you a treasure trove of earthly goods. The treasure chest is entirely filled with dirt.

You really hammer in the nail that the monster manual is really just the waifu catalog.

WHY IS EVERYTHING YOU DRAW SO FREAKIN' CUTE

I'm a simple man, I see Kanekuo I click. Ensured entertainment and lovely ideas and lo 'n behold, entertained and loved every second

So there's a dryad SPLINTER group, huh? I see what you did there

Me=There is a Dryad in a glass prison and/ Cleric Player=I smash the glass with my maul and scream, "BY CHAUNTEA YOU SHALL BE FREED!"

Not gonna lie, the way you draw characters makes them very attractive. Excellent work!

Love me some sexy tree people!

dryads declassified forest survival guide

Guess who's playing an alchohalic Dryad Druid in there next game, This guy

the dryads give you a chest of earthly goods as a reward *wink* *wink*

Me taking suggestions on how to handle the encounter: Friend- I have an idea Me- no murder Friend- I no longer have an idea

never once did you mention my favorite method of solving problems *crime*

the quality of all your videos is incredible. btw, those are some sexy plant humanoids

They're honestly more bark than bite.

your goblins are T H I C C E R than your dryads, i don't know how i should feel about this.

Dammit Feels like you draw all your female charecter monsters uber adorable~

some random drunk dryad: "ey, if you can drink more than me then we will let you pass through this chasm." me, a construct rogue who literally cannot get drunk: *cracks knuckles* "challenge accepted"

I love this format as well! Honestly just love to hear you talk about DnD monsters no matter the aspect

Its like 2am in here. I was going to have some sleep. Well, i guess now i have better things to do

End card: this video was sponsored by the deck of many Me: *fidgets with bracelet* End card: did you know they’re ANIMATED?! Me: *dramatic head turn*

Look dude, I haven't seen a bad MM video of yours. In my opinion, your least "true to form" video was your Kobold King vid. And it wasn't bad. I loved it. But it was a very specific story, and didn't really tell me much about Kobolds. This video is exactly what I expected from MM, and I'm glad you're back. Looking forward to your next vid, MM or not

T H I C C PIXIES👌

Wow. Dryads are really cool. Thank you so much for going in depth about these treeple

YES! I love dryads and the feywild. There's just so much potential in their stubbornness and naughty naivety

Ah, my favorite monsters! For... Entirely innocent reasons!

I picture my tiefling with the dryads in drinking contest but failed any con save, drunk his ass of but too stubborn to say he yield...

The first non-combat encounter I ran as a DM was with a Dryad, the party liked them. I have a fondness of them, so thank you for giving great examples for applying them!

4:26 that's the funniest thing ever, I almost want to put it in my own dungeon.

It's too early in the morning, so I guess I'll just re-binge monster misguided for the 24th time.

Like the skeleton encounters section. Really useful. I think this format could do just as well

the 2 dislikes come from the 2 pixies

You draw everything so hot!

Just yesterday I went through your other videos again because I remembered you drew the most adorable Kobolds and today you upload a new video! :D Perfect^^

Most times me and my party get lose in woods ends with me set Forrest on fire (Ya elf's and Nature spirits hate me)

You mean to tell me you didn't prepare the first contingence plan for your players? The fist thing you plan for when writing a campain is "what if players use sword on important NPC?"

Hey, thanks. I'm running Tomb of Annihilation soon, and since the majority of the adventure is exploring Chult, I can use a lot of these

Thank you once again for making an amazing vid m8, keep it up, I love your monsters and your stories and you’ve inspired me to make... maybe a bit too many campaigns to be honest

I love the drawings! I'd love to see you make a comic story with the Dryads.

Welcome back, and fantastic work. Love the way this video was formatted. It was neat and inspiring :D

You're the best. Every time I feel down I find your videos and I feel better immediately. Thank you

Fantastic video! I love the story versions a little more, but I love the ideas this gave me for adventure seeds

Good to see you back man! Nice job on the dryad plot ideas!

I love these videos so much! Keep up the good work!

I love your videos and illustrations! This gave me some fun insight and I can't wait to incorporate this into my game!

Glad you still make these, it's been a while and they're some of my favorites!

Splinter group of dryads PFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

Bird man is back!

This series has been a huge inspiration

These adventure ideas sound like so much fun!

I love the quality of your videos!!! I hope you keep going with this series, I can't wait for a Gnoll video. Anyway, nice job!

I love this format its helpful and I'm planning on using these encounter in the future

Seriously epic making the content of these videos variable. Love it. :)

Amazing as always, you've given me inspiration for an entire arc in my next campaign.

I really enjoy this new format

I love the sample encounters!

Just wanted to say thanks, your videos help inspire me when I'm planning my campaign and creating small encounters. Still new to DM'ing, so your videos really help. Commented on this one specifically because it inspired me to make a full adventure about my idiots helping some dryads clear out a swarm of poisonous slimes corrupting their land.

I LIKE THE FORMAT! Just so you know. ;) These different encounters help me a lot and give a nice creative push that I can utilize for my players. As always great episode!

I STILL NEED THE STATS FOR THOSE PLANTS MAN

thanks for the vid! these are always so awesome!

Lad, do whatever you like, I die for this videos mate. Keep up the fantastic work.

I'm DMing tomorrow and I think I am going to use all of these encounters (except the museum one) and some of my own. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I and my group thank you.

IVE BEEN WAITING FIR THIS FOR SO LONG!!

monsters misguided more like monsters misdryad XD i love ur stuff kanuo as i am an avid d&d fan

WHY ARE YOUR VIDS SO DAMN GOOD !!

Oh this is great ! I love it.

Fun fact: In Greek mythology, there were many different kinds of tree nymphs, with Dryads being those associated specifically with Oak trees. Other types existed, back before common usage filed all tree nymphs under the "Dryad" banner. Others include the Daphnaie (Laurel), Meliae (Ash), and Maliades/Epimalides (Apple). These last ones are my favorite because, due to linguistic quirks, they were associated with both apples and sheep. So if you want to spice up a Dryad encounter, have the party encounter one that acts as a shepherd. Perhaps one or more of her flock have been taken by wolves (or _dire_ wolves), and the Dryad conscripts the PCs to do something about them. It can be handwaved that there's some malign influence driving the wolves to attack, since the Dryad could normally have turned the wolves away with words alone (because she's nature-attuned). Or maybe the sheep weren't hunted, but stolen by unscrupulous thieves. That the party are expected to pursue, to get the sheep back (if able). Maliades are often associated with the Hesperides, so the party could receive a golden apple as a reward. Whether it's a magical fruit, or a lump of apple-shaped gold, is up to you.

Thank you for soooo many ideas imbedded in this series.

Wonderful video, very nicely done!

I was just reading the monster manual. It says that if a dryad's tree is destroyed they don't die, instead the dryad descends into madness. That sounds like an interesting thing to keep in mind.

I love your art And the way you make your videos and there structure and content Your amazing

I loved the encounter options. I’m implementing some of them as I type this

B-E-A-utiful. Truly beautiful.

I love these vids keep it up

I've been waiting for this video :D

Love this, tons of great ideas

Love the ideas !

Love your stuff man

love the video man keep the coming

I'm putting a kidnapped dryad under a town thanks to you

These story's are great I cant wait to use these in my game

I know how to solve ALL OF THESE encounters! *_giggles in murder-hobo_*

Im writing a dnd campaign and this gave me an idea for a nice wholesome campaign, and you know what, im doing it.

Love your videos dude

MY BOI IS BACK AT IT!

I've always liked dryads, but I've been struggling with how to properly use one for an engaging encounter. this video helps a lot.

Honestly whatever you're comfortable with! Whether it's storytime, possible scenarios, or even just gushing about why you love the monster in question, we're here for it big time!

I’ve never really gotten to play D&D, a little Fate, and made my own.... attempted to make my own tabletop but still absolutely love these videos, they bring inspiration to want to do it all again

Love this!

Yes! more encounters please, I much prefer this format!

Please plug for people to "ring the bell" telling ya, never see it otherwise and sometimes I don't even get them. From what I know it is bi-polar but, people are more likely to see them: love your art and best of luck to you/your's.

I also really enjoyed this format

Mmmmm. Yes. Thank you dood. I love me some exotic races.

Great video!

Another way to make dryads unique is more regional variants, desert dryads that hide in a feywild oasis hidden by a illusory magic mirage, or fluffy arctic dryads that can wrestle dangers to the wilderness into submission or such- I’d say amphibious dryads that guard giant coral reefs but I feel like that’s stretching it

Great ideas!

Oh dude... that mueseum one is gold

Man what I would do to have a dryad lover for one of my characters....

I like this one and the goblin one alot.

So I've been watching a few of your videos and I really enjoy it and love your content. My two most favorite videos has to be the kobold king just for the simple fact I love kobolds. they're always one of my more favorite characters to play in DND and just coming up the stories with them is just fun. One campaign I'm currently playing at the moment is I'm playing a kobold druid name gold tooth. Is backstory is kind of interesting in a way a group of Kobolds used to live up in the mountains near some Dwarven villages the dwarves pretty much abandon the mountain thinking it to have no more riches in it. A brass Dragon one day comes along the mounting Finds Its senses there still riches in the Deep caverns of the minds and pretty much makes home. At first the kobolds for kind of hostile towards the brass Dragon thinking that it was just another hustle creature trying to take its home. But after a few years has passed the brass Dragon was able to convince the kobolds to pretty much serve it not as pure slaves. And after a while they agreed to it and soon the mounting read opened as a friving mining export the kobolds will go down into the mines and gather resources and sell it to the nearby villages. The dragon tall thumb cultured speech and even Society. One day the dragon held the competition to whoever can beat him in a game of chess would get a prize. Many of the kobolds have tried and all of them pretty much failed except one and that was gold tooth late into the night the dragon was pretty much drunk at this point and made a mistake on vet in his daughter for wed if the kobold can beat him in the game of chess. So the game wins on and the kobold by mere luck won. The dragon at this point was really pissed off that he lost but his daughter that heard the whole conversation pretty much agree to the terms and stopped her father from pretty much just killing the guy up front. So now you have to go to that is married to a dragon has rights to the mines. And what gets him out into the adventuring world is since the father doesn't really believe that a kobold can ever take care of his daughter he pretty much tells him if he can prove himself by doing several tasks outside of the mountains and comes back alive he will have full rights in full permission they're pretty much do whatever he wants in the mind and be able to Wed his daughter correctly. And that is how gold tooth was made. A Kobold with really dumb luck.
