Faeries – the Little PeopleThis article would focus on the petite fey creatures out there.  There are more types of fey out there to harass and annoy your PCs than the Monster Manual would have you believe!  Some are malevolent, some are benign, and most are definitely mischievous.  There are quite a few conversions out there to consider – so many so, that this could easily become two articles.AsraiFey, CR 1/2These are tiny, extraplanar female water sprites that live in the River Oceanus.  They can hypnotize other creatures, but melt when exposed to direct sunlight.  They are only a few inches tall, with long golden hair and blue green skin.Originally found in Dragon #191AtomieFey, CR 1These are tiny sprites that play at night and live in secluded glens.  They are very quick on attacks, with spell resistance and spell-like abilities.  They are one-foot tall and very thin, with long limbs and light green skin, and long pointy heads.Originally found in Monster Manual II (1983)Booka Fey, CR 1/2These are tiny creatures that hide in the homes of humans.  They are non-violent, but like to play pranks on evil creatures.  They are a bit homely, with long pointy noses and broad ears, but have delicate butterfly wings.  They can become invisible at will, and have spell resistance.Originally found in Fiend Folio (1981)Ekrat Fey, CR 1/2These are chaotic little fellows that eat magical writings, lifting the words right off the pages.  They look like tiny elves, with leathery skin and dull yellow eyes.Originally found in Dragon #94Flitterling Fey, CR 1/2These are minute mushroom-living faeries that live in mushrooms (la la la la la la…).  They can attack as a swarm, and use songs to charm and cause fear in opponents.  They are miniature humanoids with silvery skin, and are about a quarter of an inch tall.Originally found in Blade of Vengeance (Basic D&D module O2)FrostFey, CR 1They are winter sprites that dwell in dense arctic forests.  They can control the temperature in their area, and attack with cone of cold, a cold ray, and other cold-based attacks. They are 1-foot tall, with pale blue skin, and wings like bees.Originally found in Dragon #33Moss GnomeFey, CR 2These are small fey that are related to gnomes, and tend the plantlife of the forest.  They can poison by touch, summon plants, tree stride, and other spell-like abilities.  They look like gnomes with fey traits, and have hair made of vines and grasses, with brown skin and eyes the color of emeralds.New creatureQuicklingFey, CR 2These are evil brownies with an unnaturally high ability to move and attack quickly. They are naturally invisible and permanently hasted, and attack with spell-like abilities and sleep daggers.  They look like miniature elves with sharp, feral features, and blue-white hair and skin.Originally found in Monster Manual II (1983)Stwinger Fey, CR ½These nauseatingly cute faeries like to swing from other creatures' hair – which is more harmful than it sounds.  After charming a creature into helplessness, this swinging deals subdual damage which can ultimately leave a creature unconscious.  They are so incredibly cute that it requires a Will save to even attack one.Originally found in MC14, Fiend Folio appendixUriskFey, CR 1These satyr-like fey roam the wilderness, traveling with their animal companions.  They can hide in the woods to the point of becoming nearly invisible.  They look much like small satyrs, with goat heads and shaggy brown fur.Originally found in Dragon #94Alternates:Bramble – minute evil fey that poison creatures with their spiky armor. (Dragon #206)Buckawn – little neutral fellows that use poisoned daggers. (MM2, 1983)Dobie – brownies that live to help farmers, but are easily fooled (Dragon #206)Faerie Fiddler – fey who can perform magical feats with their music (Dragon #206)Gorse – minute fey of exceptional beauty that can cause confusion and use Cantrips (Dragon #180)Killmoulis – little brownies that can cause mischief or provide useful services.  They are non-violent, but defend themselves with needles. (FF – 1981)Leprechauns – small faeries that are well known for the mischief they can cause. (MM, 1977)Squeaker – petty faeries that aggravate anything bigger than them with tricks, or by throwing objects (Dragon Mountain)</blockquote>
