nymph
Nymph are an all-female type of fey best known for their enchanting beauty and grace. Many artists and performers have been driven to madness and ruin trying to gain the favor of one of these creatures as a muse.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Nymph are the physical embodiment of nature's beauty, resembling elven or human women possessing incredible, almost unbearable beauty and charm. However, no two witnesses can agree on the exact description of even the same nymph, aside from flawless skin, silky hair, and striking eyes.
Genetics and Reproduction
Nymphs, being immortal, seldom feel the need to reproduce, instead engaging in carnal relations with particularly comely humanoids or other fey for pleasure. However, it is said that if a nymph falls in love with a mortal, she will choose to produce a child with her partner.
Ecology and Habitats
Nymphs thrive in remote wilderness areas, especially in dense forests where civilization seldom ventures. While they are most often associated with forests, however, they can also be found in remote deserts and inhospitable polar regions, where their presence can make the area appear inviting to mortal travelers.
Behaviour
Nymphs are largely solitary creatures, desiring little in the way of company aside from the wild animals with which they share their homes. They frequently spend their days gazing upon the natural beauty around them and ensuring that corruption and decay do not despoil it. At times, however, they may encounter travelers in their territory and charm them into doing the nymph's bidding, paying special attention to any musically- or artistically-inclined mortals, especially those who are particularly comely. A nymph's mercurial nature, however, means that any relationships that blossom during such encounters seldom last for long.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Nymphs can see just fine in low-light conditions or even complete darkness.
