Fairy

Fairies are medium sized sprites enjoy playing tricks upon the unwary.

History
The fairy is most likely an evolution of the Pixie as they have a similar size and abilities. However it seems that they have evolved away their passionate hatred of anything that dare destroy their habitat and now simply enjoy playing tricks on humans.

Appearance
Fairies are shaped like small humans.

Abilities
Faries may become invissible at anytime and remain that way even when attacking. They are able to force people to dance, make floating lights appear, create images of objects, tell what people are thinking about or cause objects to ty themselves in knots.

They can also cause any creature with a CHI score of 1 or less to lose all their memory, become confused or fall asleep.

All these abilities are drawn instinctively from the ether.

It is worth noting that fairies also often learn magic.

Tools
Unlike most other sprites, fairies do not frequently use tools, although they may do when necessary.

Behaviour
Unlike most sprites fairies do not care about good and evil and do not specifically kill evil creatures that stray into their territory. However fairies do enjoy playing tricks upon both good or evil creatures.

Normally these tricks are not intrinsically dangerous, like tying people's hair in knots while they sleep, stealing small objects and leading travellers astray. However they are renowned for stealing children and replacing them with their own and take great pleasure in confusing people into giving away their souls.

Humans
Humans are on the whole absolutely terrified of fairies, at least as much as, if not more than, demons and imps. It might perhaps surprise city dwelling people that their rural brethren, when faced with a pack of wolves will gather together to fight, but when faced by a bunch of small flying humanoids will go absolutely crazy with fear. There are many reasons this could be, the most obvious explanation is fairies particular penchant for kidnapping humans, especially babies, away to the fairy world.

Additionally their ability to become invisible and their general unpredictability means that, as opposed to a dragon, you never know what a fairy might do or might have already done. Fairies equivocate and trick and so while they are, like many other magical creatures, always true to their word this is essentially meaningless. A third reason, that may go overlooked by scholars, is the relationship most people have to magic. Magic, especially powerful magic, is very rare. A rogue or a hedge who can lift up a pebble or who has a little light healing power is considered wonderous, almost miraculous. So imagine people's feelings when a creature can fling a chest across a room. And that creature wants to steal your child. You'd loose your mind as well.
