Dryad, Blight
Blight Dryads were created by the influx of dark magic infusing into the tree of a bound dryad. Through Dark magic, these fey creatures learned to spread blight and create Blighted. They eventually learned how to change the tree to which they were bound to other blighted trees they had inflicted. These creatures are filled with anger and hatred, wishing to destroy or warp everything around them.
Most other fey and woodland creatures avoid them if they can. Elves, Treants, Dryads and other fey creatures seek to remove them from the land when they find them.
The largest danger is time. If given enough time the blighted Dryad will infest large swaths of forest and land, converting many afflicted plants into living Blighted. Ultimately raising a small army and waging war on the creatures and humanoids in the area.
