Other names: Dryad, Hamadryad Nymphs were an important part of Greek mythology and religion. They were revered as the spirits of specific natural features - mountains, rivers, and even groves were usually associated with a type of nymph. The name nymph comes from the Greek word that means young woman, and so naturally these beings were considered to be female. Indeed they were represented as lovely and eternally youthful creatures. Nymphs are graceful, charming, quick, witty and hate ugliness and evil. They will protect and heal all wounded animals and flora.
it's impossible but to answer I suddenly remember about 'NAVAGUNJARA' , a creature made of nine different types of animals, we've tales and paintings / pattachitras describing it in m state 🙇♀️
I'm not studied in the language of mythology of any kind, though I have a read a book called The Secret Language of Birds in Mythology, but my limited knowledge likes how Japanese culture keeps mythology alive, and there is one in Japanese mythology which creates the tidal wave after an earthquake called, namazu. Since my favourite author is Japanese, borrows from mythology, and makes absurd stories I'm fine with being a wind up bird now chronicling.
