The smallest of sprites, the atomies are found in secluded glens. They are a nocturnal race and issue forth at night to gather food and frolic. Atomies dwell in trees, verdant banks, and similar adobes.

   Atomies are about 1 foot tall and very thin. Their skin is a light green in color. They have long arms, legs, and fingers. Their heads are long as are their narrow ears. Their features are rather pointy, but attractive, especially when compared to the other sprites. They often dress in brightly colored clothes.

   Atomies speak Sylvan and Common.

COMBAT

Atomies avoid combat when possible using their quickness to allude would be attackers. If cornered they rely on their spell-like abilities and dagger or crossbow to get them out of trouble.

   Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—blink, entangle, invisibility (self only), pass without trace, and speak with animals. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 9th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).

   Skills: *Atomies receive a +5 racial bonus to Move Silently and Hide checks in a forest setting.

The Atomie first appeared in the 1e MM II (Gary Gygax, 1983).
