If you're trying to add a word to the next sentence it could either be "Although" or "However". The second option sounds better than the first though
Answer:
Dryads are mythological spirits who make their homes in trees.
Explanation:
1) correct spelling of spirts > spirits
2) Dryads is plural, so you need the pronoun to be 'their' not 'its'
3) I changed home> homes because presumably the dryads live in multiple homes, but it could be argued that 'make their home' is an expression and is acceptable.
4) I would not add a comma before the 'who' because in this sentence it seems that making their homes in trees is an essential part of defining who Dryads are.
There is a quote that accurately portrays the mood when Helen discovers her husbands fate:
"Scout," said Dill, "She just fell down in the dirt. Just fell down in the dirt, like a giant with a big foot just came along and stepped on her. Just ump-" Dills fat foot hit the ground. "Like you'd step on an ant."
Helen was very upset about Toms death.
