Pretty sure they are closer to the children of the first men in game of thrones but adults, Maybe it's my imagination but pretty sure they are wood elves made of trees and, yeah, very green with pointy ears. They just look human here with cloths made from what their flesh should be. Alas, it's not a problem, just jarring to see at first and I audiobooked everything after The last wish so perhaps it is my own passivity. |
I haven't actually read the books, so my Witcher knowledge comes mainly from the games, but here's how the Witcher wiki describes the Dryads;
Dryads and hamadryads are generally similar to humans and can be mistaken with them at certain occasions, so is the other way around. The hair is typically chestnut, green or red and is often dreadlocked. Born dryads rarely have blond hair or blue eyes, but these can be inherited from human or elven fathers.
Their skin tones can be described as similar to humans, though often take on forest-like tints of olive, chestnut, red or green. At some occasions however they may appear entirely green. The exact shade is often unclear due to Brokilonian habit of painting skin into camouflage patterns by scouts and sentinels, as well as wearing clothes patched up out of their natural surroundings, like leaves and twigs, which help them to blend into the forest.
