woodland spirit
Sylvan supernatural being
A woodland spirit is a supernatural being believed to inhabit forests, often serving as guardian or embodiment of the woods.
Such creatures appear across mythologies—dryads, fauns, green men, kodama—typically depicted as protective of their domain and wary of human intrusion.
The locals left offerings for the woodland spirits before cutting timber.
The term evokes folklore and fantasy rather than literal belief.
