Banshee- Let me tell you. These girls are SCARY. I saw one once when my dad got into a car crash when I was 11 and I smashed my head into the seat in front of me. Their screams sound like 10,000 cats scratching on a chalkboard. Not fun. 

Brownie- Little pain in the asses that do the housework. Don't forget to feed them or else they will try and set your hair on fire. I still have scorch marks on the wall from that.

Centaurs- Half horse, half human. Incredible at archery and making you feel bad about your athletic skills. Often found in the field across from that horse farm. (coincidence? I think not)

Dragons- Pretty self explanatory, they love hoarding things (specifically shiny things) and are very fond of dogs. Their personalities range from hormonal teenager to cool grandpa.

Dwarves- None of them live around here, they're very fond of the mountains. They are little men with long beards and lots of armor. But from what I've heard, their craftsmanship is unmatched.

Elves- Elegant, reclusive creatures that only come out maybe 4 times a year? They are wise and beautiful, not to mention a bit pretentious.

Fairy- Small people with wings and magic powers. They range from ice to forest fairy, and from what I've seen, the forest fairies are the coolest. They mostly mind their own business and keep their fairy rings safe.

Griffin- Head, talons and wings of an eagle, and the body of a lion. They are noble and extremely prideful. Insulted very easily but really loyal. Love to eat rats and other small vermin. (I tried to employ one to eat Maddy Felix, but he declined, the prick)

Goblins- European creatures that are as short as they are mean. Love messing with people and hold the record for the most annoying creatures (next to maybe gremlins)

Hydra- This large, three headed lizard thing is an absolute bitch. One head loves to gossip, one head loves to insult, and the other head just sings terrible songs till you want to claw your ears off.

Hyter Sprite- Awwww... these green-eyed fairies in East Anglia, England can shapeshift into sand martins, and they help lost children get home.

Kitsune- Foxes that have multiple tails and magical powers. They can also take the form of a beautiful woman. The more tails a kitsune has, the older and more powerful she is. (There are only female kitsunes. Girl power!)

Leprechaun- Little bearded men that are obsessed with making shoes and hoarding gold. They have a huge rivalry with the dragons to see who can hoard the most gold. The dragons win big time, but don't tell the leprechauns that, they're sensitive.

Kelpie- Big, black horse that likes to roam rivers and oceans. I've only met one, and he tried to eat me. 0/10 never try to talk to a kelpie. They're rude and like to try to kill you.

Mermaid- Women thrown off of ships by men and taken in by the ocean. Most of them are cool and its really fun to hang out with them. They love seashells and are strangely enamored with forks?

Pegasus- Winged cousin of the unicorn. Helpful and sort of the dogs of the magical world. They love to play and adore sugar cubes.

Pixie- Basically the fairies evil little cousin. These guys love dancing and causing the most damage they can in the course of one night. You can keep them at bay by giving them caramel and a garden to stay in. 

Phoenix- They are incredibly hard to find and harder to control. When they die, they burn to ash and are reborn from those ashes. Their tears can revive the dead. 

Salamanders- They are literally just little amphibians that like to set things on fire. Luckily, I found the quarry for them and now they sunbathe and roast the occasional marshmallow for you. (If you ask nicely of course)

Satyrs- Half goat, half man. Satyrs love their music and the forest. If you're lucky enough to join one of their parties, do it. They know how to have a good time.

Selkie- Selkies live as seals in the ocean and they can somehow shed their skin to look like humans on the land? They're cool, great storytellers. Always check your pockets after a talk with them, they like stealing things. People sometimes steal their skins to keep them human (which is terrible)

Sirens- Angry and cruel mermaids, they use their voices to lure men to their deaths by causing them to crash their ships into sharp rocks. Their voices don't work on women most of the time. This mean opposite thing is getting old.

Skin walker- Pray you never run into one of these guys. They are mean, horrible shapeshifters that lure people to their deaths by transforming into a loved one and killing them. Met one once, he left me alone because I'm kinda protected in the magic community.

Unicorn- The only way I can explain a unicorn is one word. Impossible. They're incredibly hard to find and when you do, they're mysterious and cryptic. The younger ones are easier to talk to than the older ones.

Werewolves- Men (or women) who turn into a wolf on the full moon and feed on mostly livestock. Most of the werewolves I have met were bitten on accident and are looking for a cure. (I don't think there is one).
