Dryas trees

Dryas trees ｢大霊樹｢ドリュアス｣, doryuasu｣ are sacred vessels in the form of giant 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 dryads

Dryas doll dryads ｢霊樹人形妖精｢ドリュアス・ドール・ドライアド｣, doryuasu dōru doraiado｣ are the result of a dryad's material body — the Dryas tree — being carved into a doll. This isn't a typical 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 dryad's energy levels. Those Dryas doll dryads all rank at Special A, but it is possible for them to reach S.
