Innate Spellcasting. Its innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 13). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

• At will: prestidigitation
• 1/day each: invisibility, entangle, speak with plants (plants within 30 ft.), tree stride

Tiny Arrow. It carries a tiny bow and quiver of arrows. Its ranged weapon attack is +6 to hit, range 30/90 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage.

Ethereal Flutter. Its tiny wings allow it to hover and remain in the air indefinitely. It is unaffected by the entangle spell.

Invisibility. It can turn invisible as a bonus action. Any equipment it wears or carries is invisible with it. This invisibility lasts until the atomie attacks or uses its invisibility spell or until its concentration is broken.

Keen Senses. It has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, hearing, or smell.

Actions Mystic Arrow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 30/90 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 4) force damage.

Ethereal Step (Recharge 5-6). The atomie turns ethereal for 1 minute or until it uses this ability again. While ethereal, it can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

This miniscule, green-skinned humanoid wields a needle-thin rapier. A pair of dragonfly wings holds the wee creature aloft.

Atomies perceive themselves as larger than they actually are. Like pups standing up to a full-grown cur, atomies never back down from aggression, and take tremendous pride in defeating and humiliating foes larger than themselves. Atomies find great pleasure in shoring up the odds in a fight against larger foes. They make use of their reduce person spell-like ability as an offensive measure, hoping to shock and humiliate humanoid opponents, giving them a chance to make a killing jab. Atomies employ their invisibility spell-like ability to get in close and make sneak attacks before darting back out of reach.

In lands thick with fey, atomies often serve as border sentries or bodyguards to nymphs, dryads, or other more powerful fey creatures. While atomies prove only passable in their ability to defend such creatures, other fey accept their fealty out of respect and perhaps with a bit of mirth as well. Atomies enjoy their time as honor guards, but often grow bored and leave their posts in search of adventure.

These nimble creatures adore swordplay and practice with their blades endlessly. Atomies often travel their lands seeking adventure tinged with mischief. Sensitive to bullying and oppression, atomies revel in turning the tables on a cruel mayor or tormenting dishonorable mercenary bands. Atomies, enamored with tales of epic duels and the defeat of great evils, sometimes follow adventuring parties and eavesdrop on their nightly tales by the campfire. If a warrior in the group tends to boast of his swordplay, an atomie rarely resists the urge to humble him by sabotaging his equipment or invisibly reducing him and challenging him to a duel.

Atomies get along well with grigs, and it is not uncommon to see the two types of creatures banding together for defense or companionship. Some sages claim the two creatures share a past link, pointing out their similar insectile wings. Anyone questioning an atomie or grig about this theory is greeted with bouts of shrill tiny laughter. An atomie stands just under a foot tall and weighs 2 pounds.
