Fairies

Fairies, also known as the Fae/Fey, the fair folk, or spelled as "faeries', are inhabitants of the Realm of Dreams. It is very unclear as to how many of the different and chaotically shaped creatures found within the Realm of Dreams are considered fairies, and how many of them are mere beasts. Dreamers are usually advised against asking a fairy directly about this topic, as they tend to get insulted at the perceived attempt to compare them with random wildlife.

Known Fairy Races
As mentioned before, it's difficult to tell what is considered a fairy and what isn't, but over centuries if not millennia of fragmented, fringe research, a severely limited few fairy races can be determined for certain:


 * 1) Unicorns: Unicorns closely resemble horses, but are often far more brightly colorful and have large, distinct horns on their foreheads. Unicorns can be both bipedal and quadrupedal, and the former seems to make up a noble class of sorts in fairy society, often displaying authority over their four-legged brethren. All unicorns are proficient in some form of magic, and seem to be divided into two factions: The "light" unicorns, who use magic similar to prayers, and dark unicorns, who use magic similar to spells. Light unicorns are known to approach those with high faith and offer them healing and comfort, while dark unicorns prefer to engage in games and riddles with those who have high intellect.
 * 2) Fairy Dragons: Some fairies closely resemble dragons found in the Realm of Materials, albeit much smaller in size and often covered in fur rather than scales. Fairy dragons are tremendously durable, just like their non-fairy counterparts, and are also proficient in magic, though they have no faction divide based on what type of magic they use. Instead, all fairy dragons are ruled by the same queen, who often sends out "scouts" to observe dreamers as they explore the Realm of Dreams for some unknown purpose.
 * 3) Pixie: Pixies are fairies too small to be seen by the mortal eyes and are extremely durable despite their size. Often times, pixies are mistaken for highly colorful fireflies because they are only visible as flying balls of light. Pixies communicate through some mysterious manner, and their social structure is completely unknown.

Things That Might Be Fairies (But Nobody Is Sure)
Below are a list of other species commonly found in the Realm of Dreams:


 * 1) Beds: Sometimes, structures resembling abandoned hunting cabins can be found within dreams, and should a dreamer enter them, they would likely encounter random furniture and items commonly found within a home, including a neatly-made bed with blue sheets that feature a yellow star-shaped pattern. These beds are in fact living beings, and should a dreamer attempt to sleep in one, they would be trapped within its sheets for either a completely random period of time, or until they solve a riddle given to them by a disembodied voice. Dreamers who cannot solve the riddles given to them in the latter scenario would be trapped indefinitely, and should they attempt to wake up, their bodies would vanish from the Realm of Materials.
 * 2) Tentacle Monsters: Should a dreamer encounter a body of water in their dream, they are advised to stay away from it. Sometimes, these bodies of water contain strange masses of tentacles that contain giant mouths of various shapes and types in their centers. These tentacles will attempt to trap anyone who approaches them, and dreamers captured through this manner would vanish from the Realm of Materials.
 * 3) Doppelgangers: Sometimes, dreamers may encounter beings who resemble normal mortals that they've known in life, but seem slightly "off" for unexplainable reasons. These beings would act as though nothing is wrong and behave exactly how their normal counterparts would behave, by the longer a dreamer interacts with them, the more inconsistencies would emerge.
