A 'Sprite' is an umbrella term that includes all those creatures that come under the Harcourt line of descent for Hominid creatures. This includes Cobols, Goblins, Ogres, Imps, Pixies, False Pixies, True Fairies, Lesser Fairies and Higher Fairies. These are those creatures that have the Tri-scapial shoulder girdle arrangement to their skeletons.

Sprite can also refer to those 'most ancestrial' species of this group which are now rare and found only in isolated pockets of habitation. They show very specific adaptation to isolated environments and ways of life: water sprites, Denderon (Rhododendron) Sprites, Earthen Sprites, Crab grass sprites... and so on.

Pixies are those Sprites that have adapted to a meadow environment and way of life. They are as much as a foot high and are very slender for their size (uncomfortably slender from a human (my) point of view). They are tailless, green in colouration and have sharp features, pointy fingers and toes. They dress in leaves and other debris. They are solitary through-out the day but become very communal at sunset and into the night.

Fairies are those Sprites that have taken to an arboreal way of life. The Lesser Fairies (the more ancient ancestral types) are quite varied in their morphology which may or may not include: wings, tails, fur or hair tufts, hair-'thorns', claws, exaggerated features, combs and wattles, coloured or even mottled coloured hides. The Higher Fairies are one particular branch of many in the realm of the lesser fairies that meet the Victorian definition of Fairies: young child in morphology, winged, naked, tailless and comely. These Fairies almost always live in close association with flowering plants for their way of life. The True Fairies are not fairies at all (despite their name) but Pixies that have evolved to mimic the Higher Fairies in almost every way except having wings.

Nymphs are not members of the Harcourt line of descent but belong to the Pannagoaline line with brownies, elves, humans, Dwarves and hobbits. They most resemble post-adolescence human and (like mermaid) are most associated with young females. (Nymph is a Greek work referring to young ladies of marriageable age.) There are several types usually classified according to their habitat: water, forest, mountains, meadows, etc. They are closely associated with (if not the same kind of creature) as the British Morgan (as in Morgan de fey).
