YAKSHIS
Hindu Nature Spirits
Nymph-like nature spirits
These are the female Yakshas, amorphous spirits of nature who inhabit trees, caves and other environmentally-friendly places.
A bit like the Greek Nymphs but with added shape-changing abilities.
Do not get too close — they are wild creatures and may bite.
