Homebrew Feral Sprite Species Details

From the realm of the Fey and the mana dense atmosphere, the Feral Sprites thrived in the dense forests surrounding the Indell Ocean. They peacefully lived in large groups that survived off the land and sea. Never are they seen by other intelligent races, but remnants of their small cities have been found and explored. 

Hunted

Feral Sprites have the incredible ability that many call minimize. It can shrink any object making them useful for traveling, smuggling, entertainment, and many more reasons. They have often been hunted down to near extinction after most being captured and sold as slaves.
After hundreds of years, with less than a thousand of their kind free from servitude, they created a portal to another plane of existence by using the magic of their ancient Fey ancestors to save the younger members of the dying race. Only a dozen of Feral Sprites managed to successfully survive the transfer to a different plane. 
With few Feral Sprites left alive, they hid from the world, repopulating and rebuilding their communities for the future.

 

Being Named

After moving to the new plane, running from their own, they avoided all types of life. When found, they would always run to preserve their live. They knew nothing of the new world and the density of the mana was very different. When put into a situation when they couldn’t run from their enemies, they would fight to the death possibly killing themselves in the process.  
This type of fighting led to the people who survived the fight calling the feral beings. They were then known by adventures as Feral Sprites. The name spread throughout the land through songs and tales of spotting this rare race. Many know of them, but there are still many beings who aren’t aware of their existence.

 

Body of Flame

Though Feral Sprites have small bodies, they are actually very strong. Their bodies are also made of flames which makes them able to reinforce and protect certain parts of their bodies as they wish. When injured, they can manipulate flames over their wounds protecting the injury and preventing further damage.
