Dryad

Dryads (樹妖精) are a type of Elemental that has incarnated into plant-life, with their vessels being known as Dryas (大霊樹) Trees. They rank near the top of A rank, with some of the stronger ones among them reaching Special A. They are immortal, and only rarely leave their sacred dwellings.

Background
They're heralded by some as the wardens of the whole Jura Forest, the one who exact divine punishment upon those who damage the forest. Being the servants of the Elemental Queen, they have close affinity with other Elementals and are able to summon their powers in battle, making them formidable opponents.

During the Monster Capital Opening Festival arc, the Dryads and Treants reunited with their master Ramiris, moving into the 95th floor of The Dungeon alongside the Elves that resides within the Jura Forest. After that, they became the primary manager and workers of the labyrinth, and helped their master to continue in her research.

Dryas
Dryas (大霊樹) are sacred vessels in the form of great trees that house the souls of the Dryads. It can be considered their true form or Material Body, from which they temporarily project their Spiritual Body into a temporary Magic Body to interact with others.

Dryas Doll Dryad
Dryas Doll Dryads (霊樹人形妖精) are the result of a Dryad's Material Body—the Dryas Tree—being carved into a Doll. This isn't an evolution but rather a change in status, allowing the Dryad to move around freely without relying on a temporary Magic Body. All of the Dolls produced by Rimuru Tempest are additionally modified with a Chaos Core, doubling the energy they can use. Those Dryas Doll Dryads all rank at Special A, but it is possible for them to reach S.
