Fairy
The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, much like their pixie and sprite friends. The first fairies spoke Elvish, Goblin, or Sylvan, and encounters with human visitors prompted many of them to learn Common as well. Fairies are magical, whimsical, and mischievous creatures with a strong sense of community. It's not uncommon for fairies to venture out from their communities to explore different environments and landmarks. Some such fairies end up stumbling into the Material Plane. In the Material Plane, fairies are creatures who often naturally attract the curiosity of those nearby. Sometimes however, this curiosity can lead to a fairy being poached.

Magical Creatures
Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like tiny elves with insectile wings, but each fairy has a special physical characteristic that sets the fairy apart.
