Sprites live in meadows and woodland glens, where they have appointed themselves the monitors of their lands. Sprites are one of the few races who are truly immortal, never aging. Sprites speak Common, Elven, and Sylvan, and they can communicate with other woodland animals and creatures.

The hamadryad is a woodland spirit which is linked to an individual oak tree. They appear as beautiful naked Elven or human women, but with deep sparkling green eyes and long green hair. They are peaceful and shy by nature, but quick-witted and polite to those they deal with. Hamadryads are attracted to comely males, on whom they will often cast a charm spell and compel them to perform a special service.
Hamadryads live only in ancient vast forests far from civilized peoples. Though they can leave the vicinity of their tree without harm, they never willingly leave the woodlands. A hamadryad lives by absorbing sunlight through her hair, and will eventually die of starvation if forced to stay inside for too long, or if her head is kept shaved. Hamadryads speak Common, Elven, Sylvan, and the language of druids.

They have long pointy noses and broad ears, and would be considered homely by human standards. Their wings are delicate, and colored like butterfly wings.

Description
Stwingers are tiny petty faeries with vestigial wings, out to have fun. Stwingers are nauseatingly cute, and look like humans or elves that have been shrunk down to 1 1/2 - 2 feet tall. Stwingers speak Sylvan, Elf, Dwarf, and Gnome.

Stwingers exist only to have fun, and the most fun of which they seem possible to imagine is to swing from long beards. Stwingers are strictly non-combatants though, and don't seem to consider the fact that their actions could be harmful. Stwingers make ropes from hair, and use these to help them swing from one playmate to the next - playmates being defined as any being with hair that enters a Stwinger's territory.

Description
Squeakers are tiny petty faeries who seem to exist only to annoy and aggravate bigger beings. These fey are only one foot tall, and have disproportionately large heads and spindly little bodies. They resemble pixies somewhat, but are always naked and seem to have no gender.
Squeakers are very fertile, and seem to be adaptable to nearly every climate known to man. Many people like to think that these miniatures fey were created by a wizard spell gone badly. Squeakers understand Sylvan, but the only form of speech they engage in consists of tiny grunts, squeaks, and whistles.

Description
Nightshades are fey spirits of poisonous plants. These beings, also known as *wood woses* dwell in dark, unhallowed places, where plants like mistletoe, hemlock, foxglove, and belladonna grow.
Nightshades appear similar to dwarves in some ways, but are much more like sylvan creatures in other ways. Nightshades average 4 feet tall, and have stocky bodies. They have dark brown skin, and thick beards and hair that are covered in vines and leaves. They wear nothing but woven kilts and vests, and carry weapons of beaten copper or bronze. Nightshades speak Sylvan, and can speak with plants.
Wood woses live in dark groves, and are the weeds of the fey world. They are cold and uncaring creatures, and serve their high queen Ainecotte with a healthy fear. They are on good terms with Quicklings, but are despised by Treants.

The gorse are some of the smallest, and perhaps most beautiful of the faerie folk. Gorse are tiny humanoids that resemble human children, only they are fully mature, and are just a few inches tall. They have delicate wings and slightly pointed ears, and wear simple clothing.
Gorse dwells in the thorny flower bushes that are their namesake, which make a safe haven to protect them from larger creatures. Gorse keep to themselves, but sometimes deal with other fey, centaurs, elves, and druids. Gorse speaks Sylvan.

Description
Dobies are tiny rural fey, related to brownies. They live peaceful, reclusive lives, trying their best to help out larger humanoids. They live in crude cottages at the edges of a farmer's fields, where they glean food from the harvest. As a payment for this food, the good fey help out the farmer by performing chores - whether the farmers want them to or not. Dobies are amazingly clumsy and absent-minded, and their "help" almost winds up being more of a curse than a blessing.
Dobies look like miniature elves, with brown eyes and hair, only slightly pointed ears, and plain features. With their working clothes on, they resemble farmers more than anything else. They have a way about them, seeming as gullible as they look, that makes look more like country bumpkins than typical fey. Dobies speak Common and Sylvan.

Description
Brambles are among the tiniest of fey, as well as the most aggressive and vicious. Faerie legends tell that they were long-ago outcasts of fey society, and are believed to have descended from the gorse.
Brambles are tiny people with dark, wrinkled skin, pointy nails, extremely pointed ears, and an overall appearance that makes them look dried-out. A brace of spines sticks out from their back, which is bare although it appears that it was meant to support wings. Brambles wear small suits of spiked plate mail with holes that allow their spines to fit through, camouflaging them against the artificial spikes of the armor.
Brambles are nomadic and restless, never staying together or in one place for too long. They are arrogant and sneaky in dealing with larger races, fancying themselves as some kind of pixie knights. Brambles are often seen riding an odd selection of creatures, including porcupines, hedgehogs, al'mirajs, and other creatures. Brambles speak Sylvan.

Advancement: 1-3 HD (Tiny)

Description
Faerie fiddlers are icons of fey society, living as individuals among other faerie communities. Fiddlers exist to protect other fey, and make the world more pleasant to them.
Faerie fiddlers resemble ancient, tiny human males in somber, archaic dress. They always carry around with them a tiny, exquisite fiddle (or similar stringed instrument). They keep in good spirits despite their serious clothing, and are amazingly spry and lively for such skinny folk. Faerie fiddlers speak Common, Elf, Gnome, and Sylvan, as well as the languages of any nearby humanoid communities.

COMBAT
Faerie fiddlers never start a fight, but when attacked they begin to dance and caper about. These constant movements help provide the fiddler with his high armor class. Fiddlers never fight with weapons, and when confronted with an opponent immune or resistant to his magic, the fiddler will flee if no other fey are in danger. Faerie fiddlers will lay down their own lives to save other fey.
Fiddling (Su): Faerie fiddlers can play magical tunes on their instruments, both for enjoyment and combat purposes. Any of these effects can be resisted with a Will save (DC 14). The tunes can be played with subtlety, such that the listener may not be aware of the sonic attack. All of these songs can be played by the fiddler at will, so long as there is no magical silence in the area.
* Song One: The first song of the fiddler is a common dance melody that eliminates hunger, thirst, or fatigue for all who hear it, so long as they are dancing. If a listener has the perform (dance) skill, he can fight opponents in combat, while dancing.
* Song Two: The second song of the fiddler is a defensive spell, used if the fiddler or his friends are threatened with harm. With this song, the fiddler can affect one target per round within 30 feet with an Otto's irresistible dance spell. This effect is usually used to immobilize opponents, and to cover escape from combat.
* Song Three: The most powerful tune of the fiddler is reserved for someone who truly offends faerie sensibilities; someone who refuses to dance with them, denies the existence of faeries, or tries to cheat a faerie in some way can expect to have this song used on them. This tune can only be played once per month, and then only on the night of a full moon. This tune eliminates fatigue like the first tune, but also has an effect on the target much like an exaggerated time stop spell. For every hour the target spends dancing, a year will pass by around them, and the lack of fatigue makes the target capable of dancing for a long time. The nature of the enchantment of this tune is such that the victim will be unaware of what is really happening if they are not familiar with the effect, and the victim can only make a saving throw by conscious desire to resist.
Immune to Enchantment Magic (Ex): Faerie Fiddlers are immune to all spells and effects of the enchantment school.

The faerie fiddler first appeared in Dragon Magazine #206, and later in the Monstrous Compendium Annual Three.

Description
Grain nymphs make their homes among the cultivated fields of farmers. They appear similarly to their woodland sisters, females possessing extraordinarily intoxicating beauty. These nymphs all have blond, literally corn silk hair that resembles the grains of their field.
Grain nymphs are a rare type of fey, in that they have adapted to humankind, and have formed a symbolic relationship with them. These nymphs only live in fields of farmers who treat their crops with the utmost love and care. In return, the nymph causes the grain to spring full and strong, and at double the usual harvest. Protected fields do not suffer from droughts or flooding. Grain nymphs speak Sylvan, Common, and Elf.

Red caps are mischievously murderous relatives of leprechauns, and the most physically powerful of fey. Red caps do resemble leprechauns, though they are large and muscular and stand four feet tall. These fey are irredeemably evil, and live in abandoned castles and towers, from which they drop rocks onto unsuspecting passersby. They wear similar hats and clothing to leprechauns, and dye their hair and caps red with their victims' blood, hence their name. Red caps speak Sylvan.

This being looks like a tiny elf with brown hair, blue eyes, and pointed ears. It is dressed in brightly colored clothing covered with many pockets and decorated with gold trim and stands no more than 2 feet tall.
Description

Brownies are a rare, shy folk that tend to form small tribes and reside in serene, bucolic regions. Related to, but slightly smaller than, regular Halflings, some believe the shy and timid brownies may be a cross between Halflings and pixies. They are generally friendly to dwarves, elves, humans and Halflings and are excellent craftsmen when it comes to repairing leather, metal, and wooden goods. When encountered under friendly circumstances, lawful good characters receive a +4 circumstance bonus on Charisma or Diplomacy checks when dealing with brownies.

Brownies typically make their homes in small burrows or abandoned shelters near active farms. They do not eat meat but subsist quite comfortably on the leftover grains and fruit that they scavenge from harvested fields. They will occasionally milk a nearby farmer's cows to obtain milk as well. Being honest almost to a fault, they will perform small services in exchange for what they take.

Some brownies will actually take up residence within a farming family's dwelling, if they believe the family to be of a high moral fiber. While the family sleeps, the brownie will perform helpful tasks as payment in return for the shelter and food he has received. These may include simple repairs, baking bread, protecting livestock, spinning thread, or any other minor but meaningful tasks. If an intruder were to enter the house, the house brownie will make sure they make enough noise to wake their landlord.
Brownies prefer that no notice be taken of them. In fact, if residents brag about the presence of a brownie, it will leave.
Brownies are by no means greedy, but have been known to hoard small treasures they have received as gifts or taken from evil creatures. Brownies typically leave these where a good-aligned person in need is likely to discover them.
The local brownie population will constantly observe any strangers or outsiders of the community. If the individual cannot be considered harmless, the brownies will work together to harass the individual to leave.

Brownies are extremely knowledgeable about their local region and can make excellent guides. If asked politely, there is a 50-50 chance a brownie will agree to do so.
Brownies speak Common, Elven, Halfling, and Sylvan.
Combat

Brownies are peaceful, pleasant creatures and are likely to attack only when threatened. When the homeowner in whose abode they dwell is threatened, brownies usually remain hidden and rely on their spell-like abilities to intimidate and harass. Brownies typically carry short swords for personal protection.

Awareness (Ex): Brownies cannot be surprised.

Domestic Animal Empathy (Ex): Domestic animals have a starting attitude of friendly towards brownies.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): Brownies can use the following spell-like abilities once per day: confusion, continual flame, dancing lights, dimension door, mirror image (3 images), protection from evil, ventriloquism. Brownies are treated as first level with respect to caster level.

A distant relative of the brownie, Killmoulis are also nocturnal scavengers that excel at hiding. Unlike their cousins, however, Killmoulis are omnivorous and are not as selective as brownies when it comes to collecting scraps for eating.

Suggestions for Using Brownies in Your Game:
- Several months after its construction, the stronghold of a party of good-aligned player characters may become infested with brownies. Characters may notice strange events (warm bread ready and waiting for them in the morning, repairs made to their armor, their weapons polished, etc.), but may not be able to locate the source.
- After performing a task or favor for some other fey creature, the grateful fey may send a brownie or Killmoulis to live with one of the PCs as a reward for their service.
- A brownie may have discovered and run off with a rare magic item, in hopes of eventually giving it a person in need. The first problem is that the item was lost by a powerful evil character that is actively searching for it. The second problem is that the brownie was actually a PC's house brownie.
- The players come into conflict over an issue with a good-aligned NPC. While confronting the NPC at his own domicile, the NPC's house brownie stands ready to defend his landlord if the PCs get out of hand.
- 1-2/3 cups sugar, 3/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons water, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flower, 3/4 cup baking cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup chopped nuts. Stir first three ingredients together. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Combine and mix flour, baking cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a second bowl. Combine both bowls together and mix well. Stir in nuts last. Put it all into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan and cook at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Top them off with powdered sugar, peanut butter and mini-marshmallows, or frosting and chopped nuts. Gamers love 'em.

Like a tiny wild elf, this creature is slender and humanoid with tan skin. Its eyes are slanted and dark, its black hair wild and laden with decorative twigs and feathers. The hide of a field mouse, skull intact, serves as a cloak and the being sports a fur tunic and boots.
Wild brownies, also known as the Killmenach, are unpredictable fey that dwell in the deep forest among sylvan creatures. Much like the grugach are technological throwbacks when compared to elves, so too are the wild brownies very different from their civilized cousins—the Killmoulis. They are clannish and tribal, given to waylaying travelers for sport as much as loot. Victims of such sport are rarely permanently harmed.
An adult wild brownie is about 6 inches tall, weighing less than a pound. They wear furs, leathers, and plant materials for clothing and favor natural colors that aid in hiding. Wild brownies live a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle, one tribe claiming a wide territory in which they brook no intrusion by non-sylvan folk.

Strangely, wild brownies can be found in the service of more civilized fey and elves. Such tribes act in accordance with the law of their masters (if any), but still try to get away with as much mischief as possible. This latter tendency is especially true when the Killmenach are dealing with creatures that are not fey or Elvish. Wild brownies also have a love for "civilized" foods and drinks, especially breads, sweets, beer, and other intoxicants. Some say this is how Killmoulis were first attracted to settle with and aid other creatures.
Wild brownies speak Sylvan, and a few know Elvish and/or Common.
Combat

Wild brownies attack with, stealth, poison, and overwhelming numbers. They prefer to use their bows from the cover of tree branches, attempting to snipe and hide again and again.
Awareness (Ex): Wild brownies cannot be surprised. This ability fails when a Killmenach is intoxicated.
Poison Use (Ex): The Killmenach coat their arrows and weapons with monstrous spider poison or a poison that causes unconsciousness like Drow poison. A wild brownie never risks poisoning when applying poison to a weapon, but still runs that risk when preparing poison with an appropriate Craft skill. See DMG Chapter 8 for more information on these poisons.
Wild Empathy (Ex): Wild animals have a starting attitude of friendly towards wild brownies.

Skills: Wild brownies use their Dexterity scores as modifiers for Climb and Jump skills. They receive a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently checks.
Wild Brownies as Characters
A wild brownie character may exchange its initial fey HD for its first class level. So a 1st-level wild brownie sorcerer, for example, has a d4 Hit Die, a +0 base attack bonus, the base save bonuses of a sorcerer, and the sorcerer's skill points and class skills. Alternatively, the character may keep the fey HD and begin a character class at 2nd level. Wild brownies are often barbarians, druids, rangers, or sorcerers.
Wild brownie characters possess the following racial traits:
• –8 Strength, +6 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma.
• Diminutive size. +4 size bonus to Armor Class, attack rolls, +12 size bonus on Hide checks, –12 size penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits one-quarter those of Medium characters.
• A wild brownie's base land speed is 20 feet.
• Low-light vision.
• A wild brownie receives Dodge as a bonus feat.
• Special Attacks: See above.
• Special Qualities: See above.
• Automatic Languages: Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Common, Elven, Gnome, or Goblin.
• Favored Class: Sorcerer.
• Level Adjustment: +0.

This creature looks like a small elf with large, pointed ears rising to points above its head. Its skin has a bluish tint and its hair is light. It is dressed in brightly colored clothing and wields a small, wicked-looking dagger. Believed to be the offspring of an elf and a brownie (see that entry), the Quickling is an evil faerie creature that hates all other races (especially the other fey races). How they came to be evil and malign is still a mystery, but legend speaks of the first Quicklings as being great sorcerers. Elven scholars believe these Quickling sorcerers unleashed some spark of the arcane that was never meant for mortal creatures.

Quicklings resemble small elves with large ears that rise to points above their heads. Their skin is pale blue to blue-white and hair is either silver or white. They prefer clothes of bright and boisterous colors; reds, yellows, silvers, blacks, and blues are among their favorites.

Quicklings never wear armor.

Quicklings speak Common and Sylvan. Both are spoken so quickly that even those able to speak one of the languages
may still find it difficult to converse with a Quickling. Because of their rapid metabolism, Quicklings reach adulthood by the age of 2, middle age at 5, old age at 12, and venerable at age 15.

Combat
No creature can match the natural speed and agility of a Quickling. It knows this, and uses its great speed to its advantage in combat. A Quickling often rushes an opponent, stabs it with its dagger, and then retreats out of melee range before an opponent can react.

Poison (Ex): Quicklings (usually only leaders of 3 or 4 HD) often employ daggers lined with poison extracted
from kava plants. This poison induces sleep in its victims. Kava Leaf Poison: Ingestion or injury, Fortitude DC 15; initial damage is sleep for 1 hour (as the spell of the same name); no secondary damage.
When a Quickling coats a weapon with this poison, the poison lasts for 1 minute or until it is touched or scores a successful hit. The Quickling may coat a single weapon with poison as a standard action.

Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, flare (DC 12), levitate, shatter (DC 14), ventriloquism (DC 13). Caster level 6th. The save DC’s are Charisma-based.
Blur (Ex): A Quickling that takes any action (other than a free action) in a round appears as a blur. This grants the Quickling concealment (20% miss chance).

Evasion (Ex): A Quickling’s rapid agility and speed allows it to avoid even magical and unusual attacks. If it makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a fireball), it instead takes no damage. This ability only functions if the Quickling is wearing light or no armor. A helpless Quickling does not gain the benefits of evasion.

Natural Invisibility (Ex): A Quickling is effectively invisible (as the spell) when standing motionless. It loses this invisibility and remains visible (though blurred, see above) in any round in which it takes any action other than a free action.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A Quickling retains its Dexterity bonus to AC even if it is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. This ability stacks with any other uncanny dodge the Quickling may have (such as that gained from the rogue class).

Skills: Quicklings have a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. *They gain a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks in their natural environment.
