These beautiful,
ever-young appearing women inhabit the loveliest of wilderness places,
grottos in the sea,
clear lakes && streams,
and crystalline caverns. <dsg?>

They dislike any form of intrusion,
and they have means to prevent it.
Nymphs are able to dimension door once per day.
A nymph is able to use druidical cleric spells at 7th ability level, i.e. 4 - lst, 2 - 2nd, 2 - 3rd, and 1 - 4th level spell once per day.

Looking at one will cause permanent blindness unless the onlookers save vs. Magic.
If the nymph is nude or disrobes, an onlooker will die unless a save vs. magic is successful.
There is a 10% chance that the nymph will be friendly if approached by a good creature without the latter first glimpsing the nymph,
i.e. by calling or other prior notice.
Similarly, if a nymph sees a human  male with 18 CHA and good alignment before he sees her, <Comeliness?>
it is 90% probable that the nymph will be favorably inclined towards the person.

Nymphs speak their own language and the common tongue. <in DMG>

ADQ: When viewing a nymph, are the
saving throws vs. Death or Spell?
ADA: Against the death result, the victim
must make a save vs. Death.
Against the blindness effect, the victim
must SAVE vs. spells.

<
A nymph, one of peace's proponents,
Never fights, but seduces opponents,
Their violence she'll quell
As if using a spell.
You should see her material components.
