What is a Sprite?

Sprites are one of the many dangerous mythical creatures. They grow from one and a half to three feet tall, and usually wear hoods so their face will not show. Adult sprites, which can be stronger than three fully grown men, have skin that almost nothing can penetrate through. Their species have no pity for the dead. They have razor sharp teeth and claws that can break through any metal. Their skin is green and slimy but hairless, and their faces are all wrinkled. A sprite’s eyes are just slits and they have gills instead of noses. Their stomach has a strong acid that can digest anything. There are 3 types of sprites: water sprites, fire sprites, and grass sprites.

Special Abilities

Grass sprites have the unique power that can make grass grow and constrict anything. Fire sprites can summon demons from the depths of hell and engulf anything into flames. Fire sprites can also control heats of 678 degrees Celsius and more. Water sprites can freeze anything and make water into solids, gas, or liquid and control it at will. All have very good hearing and can smell blood more than one mile away. Some sprites have the power to manipulate anything to levitate and hit what they want.

A Sprite’s Life

They hatch from eggs. They’re born only where there are eclipses (lunar or solar). Few sprites have a violent birth. When they hatch they feel hungry so they might kill their parents for food. Sprites have to eat a ton of food every five days and if they don’t they could die. When they mature they eat less than before. They could last a whole week without any water. They could also last temperatures of 890 degrees Celsius. They do not mate. The female can hatch an egg without a male. The male can also hatch an egg.

Favorites

Sprites have favorites of everything. They have favorite foods, a favorite type of music, etc. Their favorite food is the platypus. They especially like the eggs, which they sometimes store for the winter. They like music that sounds like nails scratching a blackboard. They don’t really sing but sometimes they screech when they hear the music. They also have favorite friends. They usually like to befriend another mythical creature called the efreet. They like that particular creature because they both have mostly the same favorites.

Shelter

Even though the sprites could last really harsh weather, they still prefer different types of climates. The grass sprite prefers to live in forests and near lakes. Fire sprites usually live deep under ground and only come out to eat. Water sprites like to live deep in the oceans where they get what they need. Each type usually lives in groups of its own kind.
