In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the nymph is a fey. Nature's embodiment of physical beauty, they are so unbearably lovely that even a glimpse can blind or kill onlookers. They are based on the nymphs of Greek mythology.

Physical Description[]

Nymphs resemble elven women but are unfathomably perfect and beautiful. They are so physically attractive, in fact, that the slightest glance can stun a person, drive a person mad, permanently blind them, or even kill them. Nymphs are apparently able to suppress this effect if they choose to, however.

Society[]

Little of anything official has been said about the society of nymphs. They prefer attractive aquatic environments, such as a secluded cove or sandy beach, and are mostly solitary, though sometimes live in groups. They might assist a group of adventurers or have a love affair with a man who wanders into their midst, but there is little contact between them and civilization otherwise (this is typical for a fey). Nymphs absolutely abhor ugliness and evil.
