Faerie
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, Ulgrotha, and the Dominarian island of Tolaria.
The first creature to bear the type was Scryb Sprites from Alpha. Faeries are related to ouphes.
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 Faerie Noble 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.
Trivia
- In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtypes Noble (Faerie Noble) and Pixie-Queen (Pixie Queen)were incorporated into the Faerie class.
- 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 Shelkin Brownie used to be a Faerie, while Fyndhorn Brownie used to be a Brownie. Now, both are Ouphes.
- Splintering Wind from Alliances made Sprite tokens since 7th Edition, to avoid confusion with the card Splinter. This was reverted during Time Spiral.Template:Races
