Epimeliads are dryads who are protectors of sheep and goats - perhaps apples as well, or instead, ancient Greek can be ambiguous like that - or so I've heard.

D6 | This epimeliad has |
---|
1 | a truly tremendous, cloud-like afro. |
2 | yellow eyes with hourglass pupils. |
3 | a long white skirt - a whole flock's worth of prancing hooves can be glimpsed beneath when she lifts it. |
4 | a reverberating voice and footsteps that sound like bells. |
5 | a crown of curling ram's horns, so huge her neck should snap under their weight, yet she bears them effortlessly. |
6 | an ewe's head, yet a human body. |
D6 | This epimeliad can |

5 | lull others into sleep, or sleep-like hypnotic trances. |

D6 | This epimeliad's flock |
---|
1 | is composed of lanky, mountainous sorts, able to leap impressibe lengths. |

3 | have wool that traps air pockets, allowing them to float stuck together like velcro into a big fluffy raft. |
4 | is too fluffy to even walk, and must roll bouncingly about. |
5 | are ornery and heavy-horned, keen to butt each other and anything they come across. |

3 | by skinning them and tanning their hides. |
4 | by sewing their eyes and mouth shut. |
