A fairy knight is a diminutive fey creatures adorned in elaborate armor and wielding a sword, lance, or spear. Despite their small size of only two inches, they possess powerful wings that enable them to swiftly engage and disengage from combat, leaving their foes little time to react. Revered and esteemed by all fairy-kind, these valiant guardians are known for their role in protecting the fairy kingdom. Fairy knights can be encountered in significant locations such as fairy temples, fairy castles, or rare mushroom patches.
In common parlance, fairy knights are often referred to as Unfairies by the average person. Picture a halfling eagerly gathering delectable mushrooms or sweet berries, only to be unexpectedly confronted by a group of fairy knights who assert their ownership over this natural abundance. Such an encounter with fairy knights is akin to stumbling into a thicket of cacti, leaving one feeling both startled and prickled.
