Atomie
Atomies avoid most serious-minded creatures, but mix freely with grigs, and are 20% likely to be found in their company. The lightest and quickest of all the sprites, atomies are less than 1-foot tall. Atomies have four dragonfly-like wings. Their features are elven, their skin is pale with a hint of woodland green. Atomie dothing is innately magical, bright and festive while at the same time blending with woodland surroundnps.

Atomies have twice the hearing range of humans, and they have infravision to 90 feet. Their voices are high-pitched, almost a bee-like bur. Atamies speak their own language and often the languages of sprites,
pixies, and some broken Common. They can also speak with plants and animals.

Atomies live in the upper branches of old hardwood trees (usually oaks), one family per tree. Each family hollows out a series of tiny rooms, decorating with walnut chairs, woven pine needle rugs, acorn dishes, and the like. A network of balconies, landings, and rope bridges connects the dwellings, forming a village high above the forest floor. A typical atomie village houses 3d4 X 10 adults and 4d6 children.

Atomies seldom bother with outsiders, even standard sprites (whom they view ar tedious and too serious), but they will sometimes help a lost child. A rescued child is well cared for and entertained before being returned to the outside world.

The concept of pets is unknown, but atomies often grow mushroom ”friends” in their living rooms.

Atomies have loose leadership, choosing a chieftain based on storytelling and singing ability.
