Fox Fairies are 3 feet high bipedal Fae creatures who dwell in forested areas near human settlements. They dress in simple clothing and carry shortbows, spears and axes.
Fox Fairies love to cavort with human children and adults who still know what it means to be a child.
Fox Fairies are helpful to those who are good and lawful at heart but spiteful to those of chaos and evil. When Fox Fairies hunt, they hunt the wicked.

Spectral Wings (These skeletal sprites can glide silently and swiftly, making them elusive targets in battle. Their wing beats create a haunting melody that can momentarily paralyze those who hear it.)
These diminutive plant Fae creatures live in meadows, overgrown graveyards and forgotten orchard edges. They are often mistaken for thistles, and their bodies change with the seasons, blooming in spring, thorny in summer and brittle in winter.
