Nyktera

Nykteras, or bat sprites, are gentle fey known for their affectionate nature and incredible hospitality. Nykteras share features with bats, but the type of bat varies by location. A nyktera's sense of hospitality is such that they're willing to share with any who need it, even bitter foes. Violating a nyktera's hospitality is one of their greatest taboos, inviting rare anger and retribution from the nyktera who was wronged, as well as their large extended family.

Wrath of Spurned Hospitality A nyktera whose hospitality is betrayed becomes enraged at the violation of a fundamental aspect of their fey nature. They must succeed at a DC 20 Will save or begin involuntarily attacking the offender. At the end of each of their turns, if they choose, they can attempt another Will save to end the effect; otherwise, the effect lasts until the offender is subdued or leaves the nyktera’s presence. As long as their righteous fury lasts, the nyktera gains a +2 status bonus to attack and damage rolls for their fist Strikes.

Sprite

Source Monster Core pg. 322
Elusive, flighty, and ebullient, sprites are what many villagers first imagine when they hear the terms “fey” or “fairy.” While their dispositions vary, all sprites share a connection to magic and a diminutive size. This family of fey shares its name with its slightest and most populous member, the common sprite.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Sprite Pranks

Sprite pranks tend to be kind-hearted in nature; they might use their abilities to embarrass a braggart or to trick them into a convoluted scheme to help someone notice an admirer who has been there for them all along. Their plans are often half-baked; sprites' mercurial nature means they can easily become distracted by something new before following through on a previous plan.
