* In ''Webcomic/LoreOlympus'' we see various nymphs, most notably Minthe, the nymph of the river of the underworld who has bright red skin and hair and pointy ears but otherwise looks like a very attractive and slender human, and Thetis, a sea nymph with a grey and aqua coloration, fin like ears, and a similarly attractive (if maybe slightly more curvaceous) figure.
* In ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'', Nereids are a species of AlwaysFemale aquatic humanoids with the lower bodies of squid. They breathe water through microscopic gill slits on their faces, and some can stay on land as long as their gills stay moist. They have eyes with colored scleras and grey irises, and live in a monarchical society where one's standing is determined by her physical beauty Naiads are subspecies adapted for life in bodies of freshwater, although "Nereid" can be used to refer to both kinds as a whole. Dryads and something called "Incindads" (fire nymphs) are also said to exist, but have not been seen in-comic.

* In ''Literature/LoomingGaia'', nymphs are magical, femininine beings created by Gaia, the spirit of the planet itself, to protect Her from pollution and industrialisation. They come in ten types: Hydriads (water), Isanae (frost), Pyriads (fire), Oreads (land), Aurae (air), Limniads (plant), Faunae (beast), Maenads (soul), Dryads (wood), and Pleiadae (star). They are classified as fae due to their natural magic ability, but they don't age and can't naturally reproduce.

* ''ComicBook/JLAALeagueOfOne'' features two Nympths called Zoe and Athlea, a Nereid and Dryad respectively, who live around Themyscira and shown to have been ComicBook/WonderWoman's childhood friends growing up.

* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': . They have two horns that can be used in powerful healing potions. The horns are often poached with the dryad being sold into slavery.

* ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'': Dryads have wood-like skin and leaves for hair. They get weaker the further they move from their tree, but the tree can be moved -- Pinison Pol Perlia, for example, had hers moved to Nazarick.

* In ''Literature/TheLifeAndAdventuresOfSantaClaus,'' wood nymphs are one of the races inhabiting the Forest of Burzee, ruled over by Queen Zurline. One of them, Necile, is somewhat discontented with only caring for the plants, and winds up adopting the human baby who becomes SantaClaus.
