Faeries!

Faeries are tiny magical creatures that live in Neopia. Meeting one is said to be very lucky indeed, as they can bless your pets with all sorts of powers and abilities. A pet must be strong enough to control the faeries spells though, so if your pet is inexperienced then the faerie may just fly away. There are many different types of faerie with differring powers, abilities and temperaments.

The most common faeries:

 

Air Faerie

The Air Faeries are magical, joyous little creatures who love to dance on the wind. Meet one and it will bless your pet with abilities from the sphere of air - powers such as invisibility, haste or flight.

Earth Faerie

The Earth Faeries live in the forests of Neopia, making their homes between the branches of the tallest trees. They love to collect and store items, and try and hide themselves from the creatures far, far below. They can grant powers such as toughened skin, the ability to magically create food or burrow into the ground.

Fire Faerie

Fire Faeries are mischevious urchins that inhabit the hotter realms of Neopia. They love nothing better than playing tricks and causing havoc wherever they go. If you want a strong creature in combat then visit these Faeries, as they can grant many battle magics.

Water Faerie

Swimming in the rivers and streams, unseen by most, are the Water Faeries. They can be heard singing quietly at night, but only if they aren't aware that you are near. They specialise in healing and defensive powers that will protect your pet from harm.

 

Light Faerie

Living on clouds on the upper levels of Neopia are the radiant Light Faeries. Devoted to the cause of good, they will rarely stray deep down to the lower levels. If a creature is noble and bold of heart, these magical sprites can grant him or her holy powers such as bless and restore.

Darkness Faerie

And lastly, the Darkness Faeries, minions of the evil one himself. Lying in wait to tempt those weak of heart, the power granted by these evil imps is great, but at a price. These evil Faerie abilities include creating darkness, draining life and vision at night.

The Uber Faeries:

As well as the six types of basic Faeries, there are also some extra powerful Uber-Faeries in Neopia. These special creatures cannot be captured easily, although you may come across one now and again. If they deem your pet to be worthy they can greatly increase its experience, strength, intelligence and abilities. You will meet an Uber-Faerie whenever your pet takes on a Quest.

Uber-Air Faerie

This extra powerful Air Faerie can make your pet swift or grant extra intelligence. If you offend one however, they may well banish your pet to another region of Neopia, or far worse.

Uber-Earth Faerie

This Earth Faerie can grant such powerful skills as regeneration and everlasting food.

Uber-Fire Faerie

This Fire Faerie is very temperamental. On a good day your creature may walk away as one of the most powerful pets in Neopia. But be warned, if she is feeling vengeful your pet may be turned into a grub or made feeble.

Uber-Water Faerie

It is said that extra powerful Water Faeries have granted some pets immortality and other amazing gifts, although few have ever seen them.

Uber-Light Faerie

The very shy Light Faerie can grant creatures wishes, but only if you pass her test. If your pet is good at heart and courageous, then it will pass unharmed.

Uber-Darkness Faerie

This is one of the most elusive creatures in Neopia, but also one of the most feared. This Faerie is quick to anger and her wrath is to be avoided at all costs. Many creatures who have been bold enough to approach her have been rewarded with a terrible curse. However, if you do manage to please her she can become a very powerful ally.

Other Faeries:

As well as the Uber Faerie's there are some other special Faeries that you may see flitting through Neopia. The latest one to be spotted is the Battle Faerie but three other unique faeries have also been reported:

The Tooth Faerie

The Tooth Faerie is a unique type of Faerie. She spends her days whizzing around Neopia giving people NeoPoints when they lose their teeth.

The Soup Faerie

The Soup Faerie is a kind and gentle soul. Unlike the other Faeries, she cares very little for her own appearance, preferring to spend her time helping the starving pets of Neopia. Any pet she comes across who is malnourished will be given free food and a warm bed until they are ready to brave the world.

The Faerie Queen

The Faerie Queen is the rarest of all Faeries. Despite her small size she can overpower most creatures in Neopia.

The Space Faerie

Living amongst the stars, the Space Faerie rarely visits Neopia. She will only do so in the case of an utmost emergency!
