Currently kicking trees garners the player lots of fruit or killer bees.
Why not randomly generate a wood nymph who has been awakened while sleeping
in her arboreal home?

I't been a while, but here's a NI that I like, wouldn't be too
unbalancing, and is easy to implement!

Of course this now begs for more interactive between wood nymphs and
trees. They should be able to re-enter uninhabited trees to hide. And
a polymorphed player should be able to do that somehow too, although
I'm not sure what it would look like. Any suggestions?

How neat.

Actually I'd suggest using the same kind of graphic used for when a
player's character is swallowed by a trapper, purple worm, ochre jelly. As
for peeking out and seeing if anyone is nearby, I have no idea.

I don't think the inside of a tree resembles the inside of a digestive
system.

Then again, neither does the inside of an air elemental.
