Oasis Delemgan is an Enemy in Pillars of Eternity 2.

The delemgan are forest spirits bound to adra monuments or ancient - often petrified - trees. They appear to have mostly elven-shaped bodies, but their skin is made of wood and their hair is long and plantlike. As their name sugggests, adragans, or "adra-born" as they are sometimes known, appear to have skin made of adra. Delemgan glow slightly and often have tiny motes of light around them.

Delemgan are entirely magical beings and as such do not use physical weapons to attack. They retain the overall shape of humanoids, but do not wear clothes and lack sexual organs. Their attractiveness is used in tandem with their magic, typically to mesmerize attackers or lure them to their deaths.

These creatures draw their essence from their surroundings. While they have physical bodies and can be killed if those bodies are destroyed, their survival is inextricably linked to the health of their environment. They feel no natural animosity toward other beings, but they will defend their territories with a surprising ferocity.

Delemgan may individually be more or less hostile depending on the well-being of their locale and on whether kith they're previously encountered have proven to be dangerous or benign. They are traditionally friendly toward rangers and druids. Their spiritual link with trees has led to greater understanding of the link between rangers and their animal companions, though a definitive connection has yet to be made.

Delemgan are a natural hindrance to large-scale development. While they usually live peacefully alongside rural communities, towns and cities with an eye toward expansion may find themselves beset by hostile delemgan. While rural kith usually oppose the destruction of delemganhabitats, city-dwellers often support the notion, believing that the delemgans' souls will simply reincarnate in other forests or back into kith.
