Malatran Nature Spirits are fey-like entities with strong connections to nature. Nature Spirits always manifest in the form of an animal or plant, and can be indistinguishable from a real animal or plant if they choose to be unless detected by spell or the Spirit Face ability.

Nature Spirits are attached either to a location or to a specific species of animal. Nature Spirits cannot be truly destroyed so long as the location (within a 1 mile radius) or species survives. On rare occasions a nature spirit is destroyed, such as when the Plains Of Ash were created a thousand years ago. Some Undead Spirits can permanently slay a nature spirit. The presence of Nature Spirits is a good indication of the health of the local eco-system.

Nature Spirits exist for two reasons. First, they exist because the animal or plant they represent exists. They are an incarnation of the forces of life and nature that exist throughout Malatra. For this reason, a Nature Spirit will never inhabit an area where Undead Spirits reside. Second, Nature Spirits are creatures unto themselves, living to promote the health and vigor of nature. Some have a keen interest in aiding Malatrans, others are indifferent.
