Sprite

Sprites first appeared in European mythology around the 1800's. The word Sprite is the latin word for "Spirit". They are described as fairy-like creatures with human appearances, but with a corporeal and ghost-like form usually associated with water. In d&d, Sprites are the protectors of good hearted forests. Their appearance is depicted as tiny elf-like fey creatures, with transparent dragonfly wings and weapons made of poisonous twigs.
