Tessonda (? - ? AC) is a female dryad that lives in an oak tree in Darken Wood. Grimbough's magic turned her from beautiful to very scrawny with bones showing through her skin which were covered with weeping sores. She assisted Pallidice in taking Caramon, Dezra, Borlos, and Trephas underground to get into Grimbough's lair. After its defeat, she reverted back to herself and her tree was saved.
