Editing Faerie Dragon (section)

==History==
Faerie Dragons first appeared in issue #62 of [[Dragon Magazine]], before receiving an upgrade to the Monster Manual II - this was during the days of [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition.

They were subsequently updated to AD&D 2e in the Monstrous Compendium [[Forgotten Realms]] Appendix, before moving to the Monstrous Manual alongside their [[Pseudodragon]] and [[Dragonet|Firedrake]] kinsfolk for the same edition - it was here that they gained their collective family name, "[[Dragonet]]", although that would be lost come the next edition.

It's possible that faerie dragons may have found their audience by virtue of appearing in the last officially aired episode of the [[D&D Cartoon]], in which the heroes were instrumental in helping a clan of faerie dragons escape to a new home whilst evading a greedy lord out to steal the clan's treasure hoard.

In 3e, the Faerie Dragon began a years-long descent into obscurity. Whilst the Tome of of Horrors strove to include the faerie dragon amongst its many old-school beasties, it wasn't until the release of the [[Draconomicon]] that it made its official debut.

4e continued this; faerie dragons didn't appear until the first of ''its'' Draconomicon sourcebooks, where they were one of three breeds of [[Feywild]] Dragon covered in the [[Chromatic Dragon|Chromatic]] [[Draconomicon]].

Come 5th edition, and this long slide was finally arrested; Faerie Dragons returned to the first [[Monster Manual]] of the edition, right alongside their [[Pseudodragon]] cousins.
