They're a good low-level fae enemy that helps convey the idea of a faerie-haunted wilderness without the light and zany aspects of including sprites or the like.As an added bonus, mites can give you a lot of added mileage out of giant vermin. You get both an excuse to use the vermin for more than the occasional random encounter and also a way to scale up the mites.They also fit well with your evil druid idea. As fae (and friends of animals... of a sort) it's natural that they'd have druids among their ranks or druidic allies.Races from the swamp might also be moving in, which is a great source for conflict. It's possible they're just expanding or they might be driven out by a bigger threat, laying a plot thread for mid-level stuff.I've also had a lot of luck with gnolls. I started out a recent campaign in media res with the players chasing after a pack of gnolls that had captured two children from their village to use as slave stock. Then kicked into a mystery of why they had good new weapons.Cheers!Kinak</blockquote>
