Distant cousins to pixies, Butterfae are among the smallest of fey, rarely reaching 8 inches in height. They also contain some of the greatest affinity to magic of all fae. Like pixies, they enjoy sylvan life and often take their homes deep in forests.
Butterfae vaguely resemble tiny little elves with insect wings. Despite what the name implies, Butterfae wings can be of any sort, resembling butterfly wings, moth, or plain gossamer wings.
