_These twisted dryads have been turned into vampiric monstrosities by undead warlocks and vampiric experiments._
Charred Dryads. With burnt and blackened skin, burnt twigs for hair, and clawed hands and feet that resemble burnt and twisted roots, mavkas seem scorched and even frail. Pupil-less red eyes gleam in their eye sockets with a hellish green flame.
