'''Hamadryads''' are [[Greek]] [[myth|mythological]] beings that live in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree trees]. They are a specific species of [[dryad]], which are a particular type of [[nymph]]. Hamadryads are born bonded to a specific tree. If their tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For that reason, dryads and the gods punished any [[human|mortal]]s who harmed trees.
