'''Nymphs''' and '''Oceanids''' are the level 1 creatures of [[Cove]]. They can be recruited from the [[Cove creature dwellings|Nymph Waterfall]].

''"Nymphs and Oceanids are among the many inhabitants of Plane of Water where they serve as spies and messengers for [[Elemental Lords|Acwalandar]], Lord of Water. However, some of these water spirits grew tired of endless planar wars between the [[Elemental Lords]] and decided upon exploring the material world, only to find themselves in further servitude to [[Regna|Regnan]] mages, who found these poor water spirits useful in bolstering their armies."{{-}}<sup>Adapted from [https://www.facebook.com/h3hotaofficial/posts/pfbid0WvxZdj46uJ1i6hZmW2XMUWW2vUQT4VswYCVsngS4mRWsfQkgarfLSAgT5QNvT3bxl?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZUNRoeR0IhC66UoBOwen0ibeeAUA-BEkDGQjspTR0xgzmzQwqMUvAezm65J9UGwG_OhRxZ0gZ1SF0xgS1gUSTGKGREA36x9lWk4KZ-NkbzPGHVLK401nk_RQRjFHPHS2BgdX_eAkThMf2xE5JYNgOSEIBSdcXyOVvaIj8eC2yh61yXuANfgI5lNpJwCxfPIwmR64ryvWa_6sRPVZO7yKGhQ&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R HotA Facebook post.]''</sup>

''"The most intriguing members of the [[Regna|Regnan]] community are the nymphs. These creatures of an entirely magical nature serve the [[pirate|pirates]]. It is believed that nymphs are distant relatives of [[Sprite|fairies]] originating from the [[Plane of Water]]. One can reasonably argue about their affinity with [[Sprite|fairies]], but there is no doubt that they hail from the [[Plane of Water]]. Most likely, they are something like lesser [[water elemental|water elementals]]. One of the first, strongest mages of [[Regna]] was able to bend these creatures to his will. Nymphs are not prisoners in our world; many of them come here of their own free will, especially in places where the borderline between the planes of existence is thin. However, most of the nymphs who serve [[pirate|pirates]] are summoned, and this is done with the help of ancient, powerful conjurations. The peculiarity of these creatures is that they are not afraid of death. A nymph killed in our world is reborn in the [[Plane of Water]]. The only way to utterly destroy her is to first travel to the other side of existence. They do not make for a significant force in battle, so the [[captain|captains]] mostly use the nymphs as scouts.<p>Some [[pirate|pirates]] strive to find out how different nymphs are from human women. Hmm! This has never piqued my own interest. Come to think of it, a nymph, allegedly made up of water, should be much cleaner than your regular [[Regna|Regnan]] wench... Bah! Gods only know where such thoughts can take one! I shall only note here that one can often hear stories about the "uncle of the brother-in-law" of someone, who had allegedly married a nymph."''<p>{{---}}― {{Hn|Dargem|0=}}

{{user commentary|
Oceanids are tied with [[Centaur Captain|Centaur Captains]] for second-fastest tier 1 creature. They can be used as blockers and for kiting in the early game. Low health and a lack of relevant specials prevent them from being useful for much else, however. They are usually victims of [[Arrow towers]] during sieges.
