Editing Sprite (section)

==Dungeons & Dragons==
In [[Dungeons & Dragons]], sprites refer to a specific branch of Tiny sized fey who generally appear as diminutive and often insect-winged elves. The [[pixie]] is technically considered a kind of sprite, but the D&D common sprite is very different; whilst the pixie is more playful and magic-focused, sprites tend to be more warlike, relying on magical arrows to swiftly defeat much larger foes. In Basic, the Sprite was one of the many fey races made playable in "The Wee Folk", the first of the Creature Catalogs. In [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], the Sprite family tree was divided into Sprite, Sea Sprite, [[Pixie]], [[Nixie]], Atomie and Grig.

===Standard Sprite===
Standard sprites have butterfly wings and stand 2 feet tall. They are a flighty bunch, given to dancing and singing. The only outsiders they deal with regularly are druids.

===Sea Sprite===
Sea sprites have no wings, seaweed hair and gills on their necks. They make their homes in coral reefs and shipwrecks.

===Atomie===
The smallest of the sprites at only 1 foot tall, atomies have dragonfly wings and live in hollowed out rooms in the upper branches of old hardwood trees. They collect magic items.

===Grig===
Grigs are one and a half foot tall sprites with the wings, legs and antennae of a cricket. They are mischievous and love playing lighthearted pranks on bigger people, usually making amends with gifts later on. They are nomads, roaming the forest in small bands. For some reason, they have a very close connection to [[unicorn]]s, who will protect grigs with their lives.
