Pixie

These tiny fairies are lovely and youthful in appearance, and exhibit many of the classical traits attributed to such creatures—pointed ears, turned-up noses, and a sense of mischief. Some Pixies—also known as Sprites or Piskies—have gossamer wings, though these appear entirely dependent upon regional or even tribal variation. Like the much larger Brownie, they were once renowned for helpfulness in the household, but centuries later they are much more likely to be found in barrows and woods, and their mischief has been known to turn destructive, though never cruel. They are dangerous not through any malicious intent, but through their childlike capriciousness. Pixies have the power of fascination and are known to entrance the unwary and lead them on a chase until the victim becomes entirely lost and too weary to continue. Pixies love to dance, and may also compel a person to follow suit at such duration as to cause physical harm or even to dance until death, though this latter is reportedly not the capricious fairy’s intent. Though generally benevolent, Pixies are nevertheless dangerous.
