Behaviour

Fights in close combat, run away at red hp, kills other creatures and move objects.

Strategy

Knights can kill them from level 20 onwards, however they hit relatively hard and can be dangerous in numbers. That said, they are very good profit and exp for low leveled Knights. Paladin can run them with a spear and shield and using Light Healing to cancel out paralysis. Mages should run from them using their wand/rod and Flame Strike. Have a few Great Fireball runes on hand in-case you are attacked by 3 or more Dryad.
