Nymphs
Spirits of fire, water, earth, or wind. Credited in lore with having taught the Human Mages of old to master the elements, Nymphs have the ability to take Human-like forms and sometimes do so to offer advice. However, unlike Humans and Werefolk, Nymphs do not take part in mortal society and are very rarely seen. They can live for centuries without ever being seen.

Sirens
Sirens are a race of creatures with powers of song and illusion, known to be playful and/or ruthless towards humans and other creatures. Sirens are most widely known for their singing ability, which attracts people that hear it and affects their mood to fit the siren’s purposes. There are two forms of sirens: air sirens, which have wings instead of arms and birds’ legs, and water sirens, or more commonly known as mermaids. Sirens are usually found out at sea or on islands off the coast of the port cities, although they may also have a glamour ability, giving them the illusion of a human appearance, which just makes them all the more dangerous.

Fairies
Fairies are a magical, mischevious race that inhabit the forests. Although people hardly ever see them, they are often the blame for missing children and babies. There are two forms of fairies: the miniature humanoid creatures that stand around six inches tall and flit about with insect or butterfly wings, and human-sized fairies that have the ability to change their appearance. Both kinds of fairies have the command over an array of magical spells, and both are practically undetectable to even the keen senses of wereanimals. Fairies are divided into two courts: Seelie and Unseelie. The seelie fairies play pranks on humans, albeit mostly harmless, while unseelie fairies are malicious and more prone to harm other creatures. All fairies have a strong aversion to iron, which weakens them and drains their power.

Dragons
These large lizard-like creatures inhabit the wilds of the world, keeping hidden in forests or mountain ranges. They are rarely seen. Their sizes vary to their species, from around the size of an average human man to towering over trees. Though they are typically colored with scales that match their surroundings, usually greens, grays, and browns. Blues and reds are less common and colors of metals, like golds and silvers, are rare. These creatures can breathe fire, and various other things depending on the species of dragon they are, including spit acid, throw bolts of electricity, and control the growth of the nearby plantlife. There are a select few that are hatched with telepathy and most know the human tongue, if only to keep themselves up to date with the happenings of humans and creatures like them. Dragons can live for centuries, the oldest known dragon having lived for nearly two thousand years. Much else is unknown about them and their secretive lives.
