Nymphs



Nymphs are a race of female nature spirits that tend to take on a form related to their environment (Example: While in forests: trees, in flower fields: flowers, in bodies of water: water). They can take on a human form with brown, orange, blue, green or aqua skin color. In the animated series a nymph named Syrinx has a family of male tree-like entities, if these creatures are male nymphs or not is never explained; these "males" can only take on a partially humanoid form (resembling trees or bushes with faces). The nymphs reside on Phil's Island and Philoctetes enjoys spending his time peeping on the females.

Sea Nymphs


They reside on tropical islands and are in service to Gegenius, a giant monster who spares their lives in exchange for the life of sailors they lure to the island.

Syrinx
A female tree nymph who resides on Phil's Island. Unlike the rest of the nymphs she apparently enjoys Phil's company and seems to be in a relationship with him. However, she was upset when Phil forbid Hercules from dancing (considering it "un-manly"). She tells him he's just as stubborn as her father, who disapproves of her relationship with a satyr. Appeared in Hercules and the Muse of Dance.

Styx
In Hercules and the River Styx. Styx is technically a Naiad, or fresh-water nymph.

Trivia
