A strikingly beautiful and capricious nature spirit, deeply bonded with the waters in which she lives. Wherever they flow, so may she, and ponds and rivers surge and leap at her whim. Beware, for many unwitting adventurers have found themselves drawn beneath her waters by a simple touch, only for it to become their final resting place. Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. -Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 1975

Useful Info

Water nymphs are amphibious creatures which force their prey into water before drowning them. They can deal heavy smite-targeted damage with their magic to any creature standing in water, and their melee attacks cause both you and the nymph to immediately teleport to a nearby pool of water (which is often inhabited by thorn lotuses, elemental wellsprings, and other hazards). They are found in the Enchanted Forest.
