Wood-Wives are elfs that inhabit forests and groves, with an omnivorous diet and a kind, friendly, seductive disputation. Wood-Wives never look down upon Humans and are known for being extremely kind and gentle. They would never force a man into falling in love with them, but instead, they rely on their skills of seduction.

If a man encounters one in forest, she request something from him. Usually a task she could not do on her own, or object she cannot obtain. If he accepts and helps her, she'll reward him with a bag of wood chips and when he leaves the forest, these chips turn to gold.

Among the gold, may be a ring, and merely touching it will enable him to feel her affections toward him. Which will likely drive him to seek her out again.

Wood-Wives employ innocent, yet very effective skills of seduction to win over men who strike their fancy and lure them into their beds. There, they unleash their pent-up lust with wild passion. Intimacy with Wood-Wives can have some intriguing side-effects. Such as gaining unparalleled accuracy and the ability to build fires that burn throughout the night. This makes them ideal wives for inept hunters.

Wood-Wives only means of protection is to build a triangular barrier out of fallen trees that can protect them from any threats.

It's not rare for Wood-Wives to have trouble producing breast-milk for their babies. At these times, they will bring other Wood-Wives to help, bribing them with wooden chips that turn to gold, or if necessary, the use of their husbands.
