| In Folklore, a Fairy is a preternatural creature that lives on the earth and maybe helpful to humans. Fairies or Fae, are common in folklore all over the world. The fae look just like humans but are much smaller and have wings and are bound with magical powers. They can go invisible at will and go undetected in human society. They live in communities and in a place called "Fairyland", which is free from sickness and the passage of time.

Other popular fairy workers include the likes of the Sprite, Leprechaun, and also the Mermaids and the Nixies which live underwater.
