My group's Druid was introduced to us as "the Trash Druid". They were raised by Raccoons and terrorized their hometown's logging industry in order to protect the forest they lived in, which doubled as a portal between the Faewildes. When we went back to their hometown, the druid had been gone long enough that they had turned into a legend among the townsfolk and became a commercialized Cryptid that they would sell merch of. We all bought Cryptid Trash Druid plushies.

A player at my table has a wood elf druid who is lovingly and horrifically called "The Murder Druid". Not because he's a murder hobo, but because he is the most dangerous thing on the battlefield, and shows absolutely no mercy.
When I describe him to others I often say, "do you know how creepy and bizarre Slavic folk tales get? Good. Now think that but about a hundred times more dangerous and just as strange."

[AshbornXVI]

What everyone thinks about Druids:" Chill, vegan, talks to animals"
How Druids are: *casts Shihillegaheglagh menacingly*

[lunaredelvour]

Introduced a fairy fey-lost that had flowers and butterflies in her hair. Everyone thought she was a druid. First combat and one of the wooden butterfly clips in her hair was an eldritch Canon instead😂

[tatersalad]

Also being a druid: having the best traits of Cleric and Wizard. Also known as "Having a bunch of powerful spells you can trade out that you don't need expensive materials for"

[spiderFern]

"My last druid became a druid because he loved nature."
"Aw!"
"Yeah! He loved its beauty, serenity--"
"Aww!"
"--and how horrifically violent it was!"
"Aw-- wait, what?"

[me_i_guesss]

I'm currently making a cleric who absolutely hates combat whatsoever based on your skits

[karenbonds]

As a Circle of the Moon Druid, I am obligated to pull a Magical Girl Transformation sequence every time I activate Wildshape.

This is especially amusing when its an giant octopus or a T-Rex.

[Archaeop-bex]

Party: talking about hunting for food
Cleric: but think of the Druid! What will she say!
Druid: …we’ve gotta eat?

[allykaman]

"Why should we go save the princess, when we could learn every single blade of grass's name?" Has got to be the funniest and most on-brand thing to ever come out of a druid's mouth.

[verona]

The one time I ever played a Druid, I hardly touched my Wild Shape. I was Circle of Spores so I just used all my WS on it’s feature for it. I essentially became a murderous frontliner with a penchant for decapitation while also trying to be the party diplomat/mediator in normal society.

So in a campaign I was part of, our druid was in a harbor as a fish when he got caught by a fisherman. He transformed back into his normal half-elf form and then scolded the fisherman and told him to stop fishing. All while proclaiming himself the Fish King. Well after we return to said town after an adventure it turns out he accidentally started a new religion. Everyone else in the party jumped on this and became priests of the Fish King, so as to spread his glory far and wide.

As a wildfire druid who accidentally became a child arsonist, I appreciate this.

Edit: My character is a child who's an arsonist. They don't go around with the intention of lighting children on fire...at least not yet.

[RinaaaYa]

Everytime I DM for a druid I know a have to be careful of how many animals or plants I describe around them or half the session will be me improvising a whole backstory for a squirrel.

[brandongalvan]

How I play Druid:

"I hold my action to cast _conjure animals_ once the enemies finish their turn."
"Okay, they finish their turn. Go ahead and tell me what you summon."
"Eight constrictor snakes."
"Umm, okay."
"If my summons do not go before me, then I would like to delay my turn in combat until after they go."
"Just what are you planning?"
"Each constrictor snake has a +4 to hit and immediately restrains their target on a success."
"Oh no..."
"As an action, I attack with my longbow which I am proficient in because my character is a Wood Elf! As a bonus action, I will expend a use of my Wild Shape to take on and attack with the Starry Form of the Archer because my subclass is the Circle of Stars! And both of these attacks will be made with extra advantage because I took the Elven Accuracy feat!"
"I thought that you were just going to be another nature-loving Druid?!"
"YOU WERE EXPECTING A NATURE-LOVING DRUID, BUT IT WAS ME, MARTIAL DRUID!"

[Torthrodhel]

"Dude, I'm the barbarian. My life total exceeds yours. I go in front."
"Dude, I'm the druid. My life total exceeds ITSELF. I go in front."

[Hawkensk]

Funfact. Druids are not good.
They are chaotic neutral.
And will kill you for touching the grass.

[carumsarene]

My Moon Druid: "You know, I haven't healed in a while. I probably should."

The Enemy: "We've dealt 4, 000 damage to her and she's still standing!"

[tsaimathb.]

The moment when the DM has to tell the druid, "No, you can't roll to seduce the whales."

[raquelalejandrapatinoojeda]

*How Druids are actually played according to my experience with my group's druid:* "When in doubt, turn into a bear"
