'''Faeries''' are winged humanoid creatures of diminutive size (sometimes a foot in height or smaller) that are renowned for being great lovers of mischief. Faeries exist through the [[multiverse]], but the most notable faeries are those of [[Alara]] (specifically in [[Esper]]), [[Lorwyn (plane)|Lorwyn]], [[Ulgrotha]], and the [[Dominaria]]n island of [[Tolaria]].

The first creature to bear the type was <c>Scryb Sprites</c> from ''[[Alpha]]''.  Faeries are related to [[ouphes]].
 
<c title="Fire sprites">Fire Sprites</c> are faeries who can cast fire spells and are perpetually surrounded by a flaming aura. They were [[summoned]] by the [[Elves#Quirion Elves|Kieryn elves]] while fighting against the [[Elves#Quirion Elves|Calthyn elves]] in the [[White Woods]] of [[Corondor]].
 
==Notable Faeries==
*[[Devin]] of [[Ulgrotha]]
*[[Oona]], Queen of the Fae
*[[Vendilion Clique]]
*[[Maralen]] (questionable, as she was originally an elf but is the current Fae Queen of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor)
* The <c>Faerie Noble</c> was the leader of the [[faeries]] of the [[Great Wood]] on [[Ulgrotha]]. The [[Autumn Willow]] created him in the form of [[Veldrane of Sengir]]. The noble and his faeries took over the [[River Bridge]] in the Great Wood and would push anyone the Autumn Willow did not want to cross into the waters.
*[[Wydwen, the Biting Gale]]
 
==Faerie [[tokens]]==
1/1 Faerie Creature tokens with flying are produced by:
* <c>Bitterblossom</c> (black Faerie [[Rogue]])
* <c>Cloudseeder</c> (blue Faerie, named <c>Cloud Sprite</c>)
** Since ''[[7th Edition]]'' <c>Splintering Wind</c> from ''[[Alliances]]'' also made '''Sprite''' tokens. This was done to avoid confusion with the card <c>Splinter</c> but was reverted at the time of ''[[Time Spiral]]''.
* <c>Hunted Troll</c> (blue Faerie)
* <c>Notorious Throng</c> (black Faerie Rogue)
* <c>Oona, Queen of the Fae</c> (blue and black Faerie)
* <c>Violet Pall</c> (black Faerie Rogue)
 
==Trivia==
* In the [[Grand Creature Type Update]] the subtypes '''Noble''' (<c>Faerie Noble</c>) and '''Pixie-Queen''' (<c>Pixie Queen</c>) were incorporated into the Faerie type.
* <c>Faerie Noble</c> and <c>Scion of Oona</c> are Faerie [[Lords]].
* The [[subtype]] [[Ouphe]] is preferred over Fairy when the creatures aren't little humanoids with wings. It took a while before this distinction became clear. For example <c>Shelkin Brownie</c> used to be a Faerie, while <c>Fyndhorn Brownie</c> used to be a Brownie. Now, both are Ouphes.
