Fairy Dragons are dragonets with butterfly-like wings; their body color can vary through all of the colors of the common dragons. They are intelligent, speak their own language as well as the languages of the smaller fey creatures such as sprites and pixies, and can communicate with one another telepathically with a maximum range of 2 miles. They prefer peaceful forests but are as curious as cats and as unpredictable as pixies, and thus might be found anywhere.

Fairy dragons prefer not to fight, and usually try not to cause harm to any creature. If attacked, however, they will fight to the best of their ability, calling in allies such as sprites or pixies if any live nearby.
