A tiny, giggling humanoid with lacy wings.

Fairies are a type of fanciful above-ground vermin that live in good areas. They, alongside pixies, are the only intelligent vermin in the game, though they can't be interacted with on the basis of being vermin. When encountered in adventure mode, they will glow in the dark (or should; see below). They possess a pet value of 10. As they possess the VERMIN_NOTRAP token, they cannot be captured by placing animal traps, but they can still be trapped using the catch live land animal task.

Contrary to their [DESCRIPTION] and [PREFSTRING] (and Premium graphics), fairies don't actually have wings in their [BODY] definition at all, lacy or otherwise, though they are still capable of flying anyways. A nearby comment in the raws suggests that Toady plans to eventually give them lacy wings.

While a token in their creature raws should enable them to generate light, they cannot, as they lack the necessary graphical tokens and sprite creature graphics to do so.

Some dwarves like fairies for their lacy wings and their babylike giggles.

Note: Wings may not function in-game.
