Originally, Druids were one sect of the Celtic priesthood. Because they practiced their rites in the wilderness in great secrecy, and wrote nothing about what they did, little is known about them. Most historical accounts are from the writings of their enemies, who rarely qualify as reliable sources. For centuries, the lack of concrete information about the druids has made them convenient for imaginary priesthoods, ranging from wise and patriotic leaders of resistance against Roman conquest, all the way to bloodthirsty practitioners of Human Sacrifice. In modern fiction, "Druid" is typically used for nature-themed magic-users that usually have flavour of priesthood, especially if they hail from pre-Christian Europe (or fantastical equivalent). Unlike standard issue Fighter, Mage, Thief or well-defined concepts such as The Paladin, druid capabilities may vary highly based on setting, although in principle it's a very broad spectrum: their powers govern just about everything connected to living things and unliving manifestations of nature and may include: Animal empathy. Druids will be able to sense the presence of animals and may be able to sense their temperament and actions. Speaking with animals and plants, allowing them to question unsuspected witnesses or to ask for a small favour, just for example. Druids may also have a Loyal Animal Companion because of this. Communicating with nature spirits (feyfolk, place spirits, and so on). Herbology, the art of making potions and poisons from natural ingredients. Healing and restoration magic, allowing them to tend wounds, cure poisons and cleanse (or spread) disease. Weather manipulation, ranging from lightning, winds, rains and so on to causing major disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. Resistance or immunity to said weather hazards. Voluntary Shapeshifting. Taking on animal abilities. An extended lifespan, often without the infirmities associated with old age. And in general being the Jack of All Trades. However, druids also typically have common weaknesses: Getting their powers to work in urban areas or generally places where nature is absent. Getting weakened if their actions cause them to lose a required harmony with nature Using or combating advanced technological and mechanical devices. Dealing with creatures which exist outside the natural order of things, such as demons or undead. A common feature of druids is their dedication to the concept of nature as a whole rather than to specific nature deities (though there are exceptions) and to "preserving the balance of nature", which may invoke True Neutral or Heroic Neutral tendencies. However, due to their reverence of nature and life and their opposition to greed and the wanton destruction of nature, druids generally tend to fall into the "good" side of good vs. evil conflicts. Evil druids are a very small minority, but are certainly possible: villainous druids might be "infected" by their natural instincts and be wild, cruel and indifferent characters, they might be a kind of Knight Templar or Evil Luddite who would seek to tear down the corrupting weakness and hedonism they see in civilisation and reclaim the land for the wilds, they might even be predatory Social Darwinists. Compare Witch Doctor. May often be found using a Druidic Sickle. Often a Nature Hero. |

The main character of the Iron Druid Chronicles is a druid who gets his powers through a bond with the Earth and its many aspects. He can talk to animals (though it takes a specific bond, and they tend not to be very talkative until they adjust to thinking more like humans) and can shapeshift into four animal forms. He can use his magic to alter herbal potions on a molecular level, culminating in his "Immortali-Tea" (though that came from the Herblore of Airmid), which ensures he is The Ageless for as long as he drinks it. His powers by his tattoos — they have to be in contact with the earth to work, and if they're broken, he loses whatever abilities are connected to that specific tattoo until it's touched up. He's also constrained by a very specific form of Thou Shalt Not Kill which will kill him if he uses his magic to hurt another living thing. As a side result he can only use his magic to heal himself since healing others might be considered hurting their bodies. However, these druids are not pacifists and instead use their magic in indirect ways to make them major badasses even among the fierce Celtic warriors of ancient Ireland and Britain. | |

The Mystery of the Druids does not use the typical depiction of Druids. Instead of being a typical fantasy variety with a connection to nature, the Druids seen here are inspired more from historical orders of priests that prefer using fire and explosive magic. When you encounter them in the modern day, they're functioning as a cult that plans to Take Over the World and gets stronger via cannibalism. | |

The Leos family in Pale have adapted the in-universe druidic practice of dealing with old, powerful nature spirits and modernized it-instead they deal with powerful modern spirits of addiction and decay, with each child of the family being bound to a specific spirit at a young age, giving them great power at potentially great cost to their sanity-each child also takes a Familiar at a young age to help balance it out. Known spirits include Black Gutter (heroin), Drugstore Cowgirl (various uppers) and Glass Prison (alcoholism). | |

Dragon Age: Dalish Keepers are nature themed casters who, like most Dalish, strive for harmony with nature. Velanna from Awakening and Merrill from Dragon Age II start as Keeper trainees. Apostate mages seeking refuge from the templars in the wild may also fall into this category, e.g. Morrigan from Origins. If the player is a mage, he/she can choose the Shapeshifter specialization in Origins and the Keeper specialization in Awakening. | |

The Druids in Fire Emblem differ from the usual depiction of them. A promotion of the Shaman class, Druids are practioners of Dark Magic, which in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Blazing Blade, and The Sacred Stones, is less Black Magic and more The Sacred Darkness, though there still some who are Evil Sorcerer(s) despite its Dark Is Not Evil nature, like Nergal, the Big Bad of Blazing Blade whose class is specifically called Dark Druid. | |

Radagast the Brown, as depicted in The Hobbit. The Foil to Saruman, Radagast lives alone in a ramshackle cabin in the woods with only animals (which he can speak with) for company. He wears tatty, dirty robes and his hair is a literal bird's nest, and he travels on a sled pulled by large intelligent rabbits. More dangerous than he looks. | |

The Warlord Chronicles, being a Low Fantasy version of Arthurian myth in post-Roman Britain has a fair few Druids wandering around — although not, it is made plain, anywhere near as many as there were before the Romans turned up. The most prominent is Merlin, and while it is ambiguous whether he actually has any magical abilities, he's undeniably the series' resident genius, a sufficiently accomplished chessmaster that had he focused on politics he could probably have ruled all the British kingdoms from behind the scenes, and instills fear and awe in almost every character he meets. He's also The Gadfly, who enjoys messing with people and stirring up trouble, and unlike almost every other incarnation of the character, has an extremely active sex drive. | |

Druids are very prominent in the Shannara books by Terry Brooks, although the Shannara Druids have very little in common with typical fantasy Druids except the name. They fits the archetype of the fantasy wizard much better: they dwelt in a great isolated tower-fortress called Paranor, where they maintained huge archives of books on magic and many other areas of scholarly pursuit, and had very little to do with nature-magic. | |

In the Discworld, Terry Pratchett uses Discworld druids to spoof some of the fluffier and more credulous New Age beliefs. For instance, they use ley-line energy to be able to fly huge menhirs about the place. They are also, oddly enough, a parody of computer scientists, always talking about the need to upgrade their stone circles ("a triumph of the silicon chunk") to make more advanced calculations. | |

In the Warcraft series druids first get mentioned in the second game, where they are said to have built the runestones protecting Quel'Thalas. However, these druids have since been retconned into just being mages. Actual druids first appear in Warcraft III in the night elf faction, and in WoW the tauren of the Horde get their own druids as well. Then, in the Cataclysm expansion of WoW, druidism spread to the resident werewolves (Worgen, Alliance) and trolls (Horde). Some of the more notorious druids would include Malfurion Stormrage, Night Elves' Arch Druid. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has the Druid character class, which is arguably the Trope Codifier for the modern druid archetype. They possess a slew of skills and magical powers tied to plants, animals and the wilderness, with Voluntary Shapeshifting into animal forms being their most famous ability. One quirk of D&D druids is that every edition gives them a relatively meager weapon selection that always includes the scimitar. This is something of an Iconic Item for D&D Druids, as it's usually the best weapon that they're proficient with by default. Allegedly, this came from Gary Gygax wanting Druids to use a sickle, but 1st edition didn't have rules for using a sickle as a weapon...so he decided that the scimitar was the closest thing that the game already supported. |

Later reworked as a member of the Injustice Society and foe to the original Green Lantern, due to Alan's Weaksauce Weakness being wood. | |

The Ancient One in Doctor Strange (2016) has a Mysterious Past, but what little is known about her is that she's a Celtic mystic with a radically extended lifespan, suggesting this trope. This is a notable departure from her comic-book counterpart, who is Tibetan, making her a Composite Character of sorts of the Ancient One and Dr. Druid (see the "Comics" section for him). | |

Two examples from Armello: The masked order actually called "druids" serve the Wyld's more primal aspects. They can cure the Rot, but they also engage in bloody sacrifices. The Dragon Clan novella also reveals that they are sadistic and terrifying fighters, and that they have No Face Under the Mask. The Bear Clan are not the same as the "druids" above, but they fit the general trope. They focus on gaining advantages in forests and stone circles, using Armello's nature magic, and purifying the Rot. |

The Elder Scrolls: The Reachmen, a violent Barbarian Tribe primitive in dress and technology, practice "hedge-magic" which is in this vein. They have herbology-like Alchemical skills to create potions and poisons, commune with Hagravens to upgrade their warriors with organic-magical implements, and primarily worship Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt. The Skaal are a Noble Savage tribe related to the Nords, residing on the island of Solstheim. They worship the All-Maker (theorized to be an aspect of Anu) and seek to live In Harmony with Nature. They have much in common culturally with various Native American and Inuit tribes, including their speech patterns. Their religion and magic have elements of shamanism and druidism, unique among the other religions and magical practices of Tamriel. |

Fate/Grand Order features the Irish hero Cú Chulainn in the role of a magical caster, which makes him a Celtic druid. He carries nature powers and unleashes a weaponized Wicker Man from Celtic religion. He admits though that he is better off as a warrior with a lance than a magician. | |

Codex Equus: This is prevalent among the Alvslog Deer herds. The tradition of druidism goes back all the way to the First Age - after a great crisis that killed off a preceding Deer pantheon, Irminsul and Arvan rallied the survivors together and formed the Elternteil Deer Pantheon, and proceeded to guide mortal Deerkind's evolution by teaching them the ways of druidism and natural harmony. This led to the birth of some of the most powerful Deer empires and kingdoms, some of which exist in some form in the Fourth Age as the Alvslog Deer Realms. Of the three Deer herds, druids are extremely common among the Alvslog Deer, with plant magic, earth magic, and white magic being a few of the traditionally accepted powers. Druids are also employed by royal Alvslog Deer families, such as the ruling family of Thicket, as they were present during Captain Blackthorn's interrogation to see if he was actually the disguised Changeling Emperor Blackthorn in a comedy short written by BrutalityInc. | |

Villains by Necessity: Kaylana, who's the last one left. There used to be thousands more, but they were all killed. Most of their traits are typical (speaking with/caring for animals, having a wildcat pet, using nature-based magic, rare Voluntary Shapeshifting and being very Long-Lived), though the book adds that they also believe in keeping the Balance Between Good and Evil (to the point of pure stupidity — this is what killed the others). | |

Ironclaw: The Phelan wolves have druids, whom House Bisclavret have been burning at the stake since they converted to S'allumer. The polytheistic faith of Lutarism, followed by the boars of House Doloreaux, has many similarities to the gentler perceptions of druidism, with its heavily plant based magic and pacifism. |

Ars Magica: House Diedne was a Druidic tradition that joined the Order of Hermes. It was destroyed in the Schism War due to accusations of human sacrifice and diabolism, though much of the actual driving reason was their House's open paganism and their primarily Celtic magical practice, both of which were distrusted by the Latin wizards of the Order. | |

The Witcher: Druids exist in the Witcher world. Despite the occasional fearsome reputation they tend to be laid-back people of non-hostile mindsets, on average. They can use magic and have good relations with various creatures. On the other hand, they aren't above organizing annoying environmental protests, and can get nasty if you piss them off too many times. | |
