Faerie (フェアリー, Fearī?), also known as Fairy, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. Appearing as enemies, summoned monsters, or sometimes just NPCs, they are small fey creatures associated with healing and protection.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

A faerie is said to live in Gaia's spring and has the ability to obtain the oxyale found deep within it. Before the events of the game, she was captured by a person living in Gaia and was sold to a caravan operated by Underhill. The Warriors of Light can purchase the bottled faerie from the Caravan and bring it to Gaia to release the faerie within. The faerie will reward the party with oxyale when they visit her spring, which is needed to explore the Sunken Shrine.

In the Labyrinth of Time, several faeries with a different color scheme appear in several of the labyrinth's puzzle rooms

Final Fantasy III

Fairies (ようせい, Yousei?) are a race that inhabit an area they call the Living Woods under the Elder Tree. After the Warriors of the Light battles Hein and restores Hein's Castle to its proper form as the Elder Tree, the fairies thank them and give Luneth the Fang of Wind as a gift.

Final Fantasy XI

During the Crystal War, a freelance pixie named Titania fought alongside her nine summoned Faeries to aid the Allied Forces of Altana. Although Faerie cannot be summoned by players, Titania's Faeries cast healing magic on both players and allied NPC soldiers during Campaign Battles, an allusion to Faerie's role as a healing summon in Final Fantasy Tactics.

Fairy was also the name of a Final Fantasy XI server, which was shut down on March 22nd, 2010.

Final Fantasy XIV

Two faeries, Eos and Selene, appear as familiars for the Scholar job, and aid their summoners with their healing and defensive magic. Faeries served as the companions to the Scholars of Nym, before their civilization became afflicted with a horrible plague that turned them into tonberries, and their society fell apart.

Il Mheg, a region of Norvrandt in the First, is known as the faerie kingdom. It is inhabited by various races of fae folk, including Pixies, Nu Mou, and Fuath, all ruled by the faerie king Titania.

Faeries were also utilized by the civilization of Aloalo Island. The faerie Statice still inhabits the island and serves as the final encounter of the duty's right most path.

Faerie is also the name of a server on the Aether data center.
