Dryads, you might be into, but they are fey and so not an option. Sorry.
Dryads seem to be such transcending beings in nature, they appear to me they never know themself
" Is that Humanoid down there a full fledged person or is it just a sextoy? "
But I guess this is just what one would expect of them.
When they have such magical abilitys that they can literally f*ck around with people and they cannot do sh*t against it.
Also, fun fact: humans are animals!
Also, also: we are talking about an imaginary world - there are going to be lots of things that don't map neatly onto things that exist in this world.
Only true on a basis of agreed normality. We as Humans are not even able to truly percieve our world around it.
° We know air, bacteria or wind exists, but we cannot see those things.
° We do not know what is inside our owns worlds oceans appart from echolon images but even those cannot reliably send the form of underwater life back to us.
° We do not even know what other people are truly thinking. Not even our dearest love one's.

We are just "expecting" the world to be in certain ways.
To behave in certain ways. But we dont know what it will actually be!
All of our wisdom is based on experiences in a world that has only "
something" resembling a form of reliable continuity.
Wisdom safed in a wierd biological hardware called the brain...
... recorded down in a form of memory that corrodes over time.
And memory is often recorded more epic, beautiful or impressive as the actual thing was.
Just watch a few Movies from your childhood again and you will notice EXTREM differences in sensation.
But maybe it was just
you that has changed and not the
world.
" After all... what 'is' real... when our own mind's cannot be trusted? " - N'zothReality, pfffffffffffff - a form of collectively agreed upon expectation of outcomes during our daily lives.
Nothing more nothing less.
