What does the Dryad count as Corruption?

In Terraria, the Dryad is an NPC who keeps track of the world’s Corruption count. The Corruption count indicates the level of Corruption spread throughout the world, with higher levels of Corruption allowing certain enemies and biomes to spawn.

While not explicitly related to Terraria, these phrases show how both corruption varieties need attention, with different priorities and repercussions.

• Grand, has a wider range which makes it much harder, spread, it spreads a sense of Corruption within government.
