Faerie dragon finds you are not drinking your mead fast enough, so the little lizard helps you out.
Then asks for seconds and thirds with a bit of cheese.
This is giving me so many ideas! Faerie dragons seem perfect for a "villain" of a small "arc" (1-3 sessions) in a longer campaign to add a little levity. Or give your party a faerie dragon companion that gets up to hijinks and draw them into it!
Remember, Faerie dragons who dwell for too long within the Shadowfell can become Shadow Faerie Dragons.... (oh the possibilities)
Hey, what about if your "villain" actually drags the adventurers to a place in need of some heroes to tackle a very real crisis? Poked over there with pranks.
@@AJPickett Whould that turn them into evil pranksters fully into inflict actual harm?
@@michaelpettersson4919 Yes.
If a drug den convinced a faerie dragon to give up their breath willingly with large apple pies their loyalty could be a strong motivator against a party of adventurers who were trying to close down the den.
I can’t help but chuckle at the idea that there’s a dragon with drug breath.
32:40
The epiphany is that he'll never have another epiphany.
These videos are great as standalone entertainment - I've never played D&D but these are among my favorite content.
That indeed a possibility that may result in suicide and by that making that true.
Hearing AJ drop an F bomb is like hearing a teacher cuss
FINALLY NATHIER GETS MENTIONED HAHAHAH I LOVE THIS GOD, I play him so often with my players, they have either loved him or hated/feared him, but eventually grew to begrudgingly trust and even greatly care for him. Several have become warlocks to him or become pacted with him.
Hear me out, Faerie Dragon Dracolitch
Yesssss
I feel Faerie dragons are the best for unusual hords, from a hord of cook books, shiny and unusual shaped numbered rocks, stuffed toy or dolls, musical instruments or jokes. They hord fun and unusual things.
I fully support massive bee hives being used in pen and paper. Particularly if the hive in question is large enough to snuggly encase a character's head. :D
Fun fact in 3rd and 3.5 faerie dragons of the oldest age category could be huge size because dragons had indeterminate growth only limited by the size of their environment.
teeeeechnically true.
"Enchanted fairy foods" is a video I'd like to see. I can't even **begin** to imagine the potential mischief that could ensue.
more like guaranteed mischief
@@marcogenovesi8570 Agreed. But what kind, I wonder?
Fairy dragon dungeon. I was thinking about making a campaign with one of these creatures. The fairy dragon being as evil as it can never be which is more mischievous than anything in the most annoying way possible. Basically I want to start off the dungeon being one room with three treasure chests. A small riddle for the players to solve but the trick is that each one of them have a magic black powder inside that will flood the room. No matter which one you open it's the same result. They're meant to engulf the players and teleport them to one room inside a deeper layer of the dungeon. Depending on which one you open is where you start. Each player become small like Honey I shrunk the kids making any animal or situation much larger than what it normally would be. You take the map that you drawn out and bring out a second layer for that which would be much larger. Now the fairy dragon will mess with the party with illusions which can be dangerous with creatures like rats within the dungeon. Normal hit points apply to them. One of the goals intended is to either kill the fairy dragon or to leave the dungeon alive. Both results will return you to your normal size.
No dragon would ever wear another dragon’s skull! Unless they were (even for chromatics) deeply fucked up! Like maybe a black dragon or a recently victorious blue or green dragon, but they certainly wouldn’t guild it so they could… g- aughh… wear them.
@@rachdarastrix5251 maybe if they were one who angered Tiamat or Bahamut to prove themselves
Thank you AJ for the Feywild subject matter, it's interesting to see how much it's changed throughout the years. The image of it being frivolous and silly is DEFINITELY not the case
Wonderful video! In my current campaign, the characters met a faerie dragon with a tribe of kobolds. The kobolds were, as a result of their worship of the faerie dragon, a tribe of excellent bakers and confectioners.
Played the dragon himself a lot like the Cheshire cat. He liked slowly vanishing, leaving nothing but his disembodied smile hanging in the air...
Brilliant, I am going to use that slowly vanishing idea, thank you.
One of my favourite dragons.
I Always keep a spare pie for them on hand.
6:38 When AJ drops the F bomb, it has some impact. I guess that's how it is when you are usually soft spoken and well mannered (unlike myself, I use curse words for punctuation.)
I am a New Zealander, so, off the mic, I do swear more often.
@@AJPickett Fair enough.
It's been awhile since I've been on this channel and it's still pumping out glorious content.
Dragon lore is always my favorite!
I get Epiphany highs every time i watch AJ's videos.
Safe, legal, cheap and best of all, no known medical complications or side effects.
@@AJPickett **nods**
Facts.
Ooh, I'm gonna sneak one of these into my kids' strixhaven game.
I remember an adventurer from Dungeon Magazine back in 2nd ed about a tribe of goblins who have captured a Faerie dragon and use it as a source of narcotics by harvesting its breath weapon. Naturally the point of the mission is to free the dragon. Edit: I see you posted the cover of said Dungeon Magazine.
This is one my favourite episodes. The dedication to detail, the lyricism of the imagery, the game stat recommendations.
👌🏼
Thank you!
I'm going to use one in my next game, a secret silver dragon meeting foiled by a pesky Faerie Dragon.
Only time I've see fairy dragons have a proper treasure hoard was the old dungeons and dragons cartoon and that was a lot of fairy dragons living together with their queen
Ah "...It's as welcome as a fart in an elevator.." there is a quote I enjoy and wish never forgotten
...and now my world has an underground Faerie Dragon breath trade and "Breath Dens" were people huff the bottled breaths of different Faerie Dragons to get high. Thanks AJ!
i have a faerie dragon caracter and i have 3 tipes of gas, one for laugh one for poison and one for sleep. In my party there is a thiefler who sell my gas at the underground and make himself some arrowhead lubricant outof it.
Awesome, man!
Encounter idea:
The adventures enter a cave and perhaps they enter a small 8x8ft room with nothing but a door at opposite ends. There’s a strange mist in the room, but nothing else.
The door opens to a long tunnel that just seems to keep going, until eventually there’s a side passage leading into a massive room.
When they wander inside, several huge-sized multi-colored dragons drop down into the room from the ceiling including one immediately behind them.
They proceed to bat the adventurers around sending them kareening across the room to smash into walls or each other, but these hits deal only 1 or 2 damage and very little even from their impacts with the walls. Every time they land a hit on the adventures, the dragons will say things like, “Bam!”, or when using what looks like lightning breath, “Bzzzzapp!” Insert other appropriate onomatopoeiasas needed.
The dragons laugh with fake maniacal laughter, when the adventurers try to hit them, and spout off with random super villain monologue lines.
When they finally get hit, they pretend the wound is fatal even though it’s comparatively tiny and- well you get it.
It’s a bunch of faerie dragons who summed up their power to cast a delayed effect reduced size spell on the adventurers, so that when they kept walking down the tunnel which was shrinking, just as the adventurers were, no one noticed.
The fae dragons just wanted to pretend at being big dragons for a bit.
So I could put dragonfly wings on a bearded dragon and make my own faerie dragon?
Tied with Pseudo Dragons and Pixies as my favorite D&D creatures.
You know things have gotten real when AJ drops the F bomb.
Now that I know Faerie Dragons have a Patron Deity, all I can think of is what the perfect cleric or paladin would look like. It would have to be some super jovial fey (that's half of them anyway) with an overwhelming sense of joy and love of pranks. Perhaps a Copper half-dragon bard, or a celestial gnome illusionist? Or better yet epic level Atomie sorcerer!!!
Atomie Sorcerer!
Faerie dragon gas + Elysian thrush song
The implication of a time chamber like dbz being made by the Fairy dragons is... Awesome
Yes!!!! I'm so glad u finally covered these trixy little dragons
Dragon video! 😎🐉
🐉 🦋
As I said before I don’t even play D&D but I love this channel, whenever I’m doing something or just relaxing i put one of your videos on to hear some of your stories
Something I've considered; do you think if there was a scenario like "Honey I shrunk the kids" in a fey setting, you could implement a Faerie Dragon in the same way as a standard dragon?
I think it would be an interesting encounter.
Love that idea! 💡 Fun on a bun!
Certain Trees in the forest have a pollen that can reduce the size of traveller's subtly as the trees and mushrooms seem to get larger as you get closer to a very particular portion of the woods
Bonus fun if the pollen doesn't shrink equipment with iron components
Oh absolutely! One of my favorite feywild tropes is a forest where the direction you walk determines wether you grow taller, shorter, and back or forward in time.
Bless the Mighty GlueStick
Also fun concept: Local clinic has deal with a baker and small group of Faerie Dragons - baker makes the group apple pies ine exchange for services as the clinic as living painkiller generators - or just there to be civil and help improve mood like therapy animals.
apparently Nathair Sgiathach is claimed after the second sundering to quote "not a real deity, and that his extraordinary powers were a result of his highly developed dragonsight." wonder what AJ's pseudodragon companion thinks of this theory, assuming he is anywhere near as scholarly as AJ when not being the more typical playful and mischievous nature?
He says "That is news to me".
A pleasant way to start the morning.
A dragon that exhales euphoric gas ? I know many people who would pay to have a dragon do that to them. Give that Dragon a job at the brothel they won't even think about women after repeated inhalation.
Man I love this video! I've always really gotten a kick out of fairy dragons. I was pleased to learn some lore I didn't know, really liked the artwork, and this video went great with my morning coffee. It put me in a good, light-hearted mood. Great way to start my day 🙂
Glad I could help!
@@AJPickett Me too! Lol
Equip fairy dragons with +1 sharpie pens?
I don't remember if it carries over from previous versions, but can a faerie dragon answer the 'find familiar spell'?
Yes
Ahh, one of my favorites.
And of course a new stick of glue for the munching! :9
I had a campaign where an elaborate prank of Nathair Sgiathach that got out of hand accidentally led to his sister, Tiamat(yes, they are technically related), getting an avatar on the prime material. Also had him pronounce his name differently everytime he greeted someone.
Edit: Tiny dragons with crossbows are not what I expected. Love it.
I always say this, and this is always true I love videos about dragons. Thanx for another great video

Faerie dragons are all one giant psychedelic euphemism, it's quite funny. As much as I like Faerie Dragons, I wouldn't want one to be a party companion for too long. Psudodragons are the way to go instead I think. Faerie dragons just seem a bit too extreme for my tastes, like having too much of a good thing starts to spoil it.
Exactly so, they are, after all, ALIEN beings from another dimension.
This made me envision a large cave, resounding with hissing, gnarling, generally just "dangerous" sounds, fitting for an ancient Red, thundering throughout the entire cave, only for a tiny faerie Dragon to angrily stomping (think the Way small parrots stomp around) towards the Party.
Think of the scene where the Terrible Terror is revealed in How to train your Dragon, or the scene where Mushu introduces himself to Mulan (giant Shadow, tiny Dragon).
The whole Setup suggests a way bigger creature, the faerie Dragon uses the cave to amplify the sounds it makes to sound bigger and scarier, to hopefully scare potential attackers away. And when it finally reveals itself, it puffs itself up to look bigger.
It'd be just too cute!
Deep booming voice commands them to leave a few coins and depart, all the coins in the lair are illusive and it uses the coins to get treats for itself
@@edendemarlo
Exactly
Thanks for all the lore
I love the character of the sage, it’s very immersive
I feel tempted of making a game with the players all being a weak homebrewed kind of goblins, experiencing low level adventures (in hunt for low value baubles, a new home or something of that non-grand nature) dealing with Faerie dragons and similar interesting but low level creatures. With the best solution rarely being combat.
It creates a kind of intimate appeal where get you time to experience the world building in a calm yet fun way, without being thrust away from it by world-shattering events or the fury of gods.
WotC 3rdE D&D around 15 to 20 years ago, I set up a Fairy Tell game of a forest with a copper dragon leading a gnome druid/wizard illusionist vs a green dragon goblin druid/sorcerer 4th having 2nd-level spell wand battles hurtling insults at each other. Which turn into a larp battle of 12 &13 year old having rubber band fights inside the house casting insults at each other. My 70 year old grandmother used to be a bar tender, so her playful insults were legendary.
The gnomes & goblins would have a contest on who could prank human merchants traveling through their forest road.
I still had AD&D2ndE " Complete Humanoid Hand book," which covers pixies, mites, and atomie beings only standing 1 and a half foot tall/ 45cm.
@@krispalermo8133 Interesting and unique. I like it!
@@torbjornlekberg7756 Thank you and I hope you had a good weekend.
@@krispalermo8133 You too.
My god they get cuter and cuter with every word. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video, fairy dragons are my absolute favorite creature in all of dnd and I would give anything to befriend one. The amount of violent hatred and malicious vengeance I would bring down upon whoever I would find that would dare imprison and harm one of these precious creatures would be enough to poison the very earth with necrotic energy and taint the land for years to come.
So, in my setting, the “True Dragons(Chromatic and Ferrous fascist IoM dragons)” purged the Faerie dragons across my settings multiverse. I deserved to be stoned to death for writing such grimderp.
@@SkoomaGodDovahkiin666 you do yes. I shall slay all the dragons for this.
@@frankalphonso268
My only regret is that I don’t have the skills to DM all that well. If I could, I’d let you pull a Frieza on the scaly war criminals in my WIP setting.
Lovely artwork you selected for this one.
This was a lot of fun to watch/listen to. You are an amazing writer and narrator.
Thank you!
Now here's a question - If a fun lil prank goes horribly wrong, toes the fairy dragon, being inherently feel bad? Like... The person who bothers an illusion'd beehive starts having an allergic reaction and starts to suffocate. Will the feydragon try to help, or just 'lol so random' and take off not realizing the extent of what it has done..?
from that specific example, the illusion shouldn't cause an actual reaction, perhaps just a psychosomatic reaction to the bees and yeah, the Faerie dragon will find it hilarious.
@@AJPickett Fair! I thought the illusion was hiding a real beehive, so the bees were very real, like you mentioned in your vid. But thank you!!
i play a fairy dragon caracter and i play a caotic good caracter but my party usually says its more like a caotic caotic caracter. Farie dragns dont whant to destroy or harm otthers for seriously, but if somebody dies by accident we became a little sad, for a minute, but dont forget we are dragons. Fairy dragons are like a 4 years old child with terrific super power.
I would love it if you would at some point comver the actual relationship between Psudo-dragons and fairy dragons. If it has been covered in lore of cores. 🙂
My Campaign has a faerie dragon named Meadowbright who is about to become a lot more interesting... thank you
My pleasure!
Would it be too on the nose to name one "Puff?" Lol
That's the sort of thing you judge by the volume of groans from your players.
Puff the magic dragon seems like the perfect name
@@Sirfinchyyy Perhaps a Feywild portal on a beach?
@@AJPickett Totally solid scale. You want cheers as the storytelling bind, not jeers.
D&D needs to do a Oblivion clone with Skyrim controls, and use their hard mature stories from the 80s. That would definitely bring their boot down heavy and let everybody know who is the daddy of Skyrim, Warhammer, Elden Ring, etc. They need to leave the modern romance ya stuff alone and just get HBO Sopranos level mature.
@@rachdarastrix5251 PG-75? Is that the one where you are made to ponder on impossible moral dilemmas, such as whether to burn along with the rest of the encampment the presumably innocent children, possibly females, sickly and ederly from the goblinoid/orcish tribe that you just slaughtered without a second thought?
Try PG Grown Assed Adults with Good Tastes. Breaking Bad audience too.
Great video on one of my favorite D&D creatures.
Fairy dragons are my favorite part of dnd
In so far as I can tell, most of the archfey (including Nathair Sgathac) have at least pseudo Irish/Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic names and pronunciations; Rhiannon being a notable exception of being Welsh. Sgathac is also a name found in Irish mythos, iirc.
The other issue for pronunciations of Gaelic come down to dialects and accents, which, as someone who mostly just has to contend with Southern US English, can be a nightmare to sort through.
Vengeful faerie dragon, Mexelstrazznack. "They killed or captured them... The whole village. The wizard blasted the town with flashbang spells and his companions threw gas canisters into my peoples home. The gas was new too us. It made anyone effected by it cry and ooze body fluids, nausea was an additional symptom of the gas. With the village in chaos, the hoomies roamed the village, plucking and collecting wings, encasing some in jars that were likely magical. It all took but a few minutes. When done the wizard cast a portal spell and they raiders simply left. My innate magic allowed me too trace them. I will find my friends and the hoomies?? They will die a happy and excruciating death..." An unlikely event, but not impossible. And would make for one helluva campaign....
Wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and research you do for these videos. Im playing an int based warlock occult researcher and all of my prep came from studying your videos like college courses lol
This was delightful
Can you do a video on the Cult of the dragon next please. Great Video.
Always glad to learn more about dnd. Thanks for the amazing videos!
This video is just in time. I just got a pair of faerie dragon minis
Consider, fairie kobolds
My favorite familiar! Thanks, AJ! Good stuff
I really think I unconsciously schedule my gigs around my favorite creators lol several times lately I set up on a job site and there's a new video from one of the many fantastic D&D talkabouters for me to have a listen.
Darn you AJ, now I just have to rewrite my oneshot to include one of these little guys! ;)
Awesome video, it made my day. Thank you friend!
I feel these should have been bigger, like the size of a young chromatic dragon.
Leprechauns wore red!
I'll take your word for it.
@@AJPickett The stories are grey there. Some say the red was in their hair, making them gingers. The Irish did eons of fighting over even the details of their myths.
These opposing things are also true: Leprechauns coveted god for various reasons. Leprechauns only collected gold because humans valued that silly metal.
What Leprechauns drink, can drink, and want to drink is also a never-agreed-upon thing in all of Irish culture. The passionate debates are often shouted about over pints of spirits and stronger smaller cups and glasses.
From my various folklore research, they generally follow Leprechaun folklore but the details always seem to be in the ID of those who are "totally sure" of that very detail. So, because of that, for AD&D Leprechauns, I default to the AD&D version with the "open for local homebrew" card on the table.
The most commonly accepted version is the Saint Patrick version, I won't go into my gripes about that "totally really real story about a saint" story. It's a green-clad little person with pointed ears that dresses very much like a Puritan in general style with a shillelagh (battle stick with which St. Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland). I mean, buckles everywhere and the stupid pipe, really? Oh, a short green-clad shillelagh donning guy smoking a pipe who covets gold that he hides at the end of a rainbow whose clothes are Puritan-themed is not at all suspect, right? That offends every non-Catholic Irishman who is well-read... and Irish Catholics who see that Leprechauns are linked to their stories and imagery. **Insert drunken people on both sides screaming about the other making this the opposite side's version**
Leprechauns are just Irish Fey, Irish Fae, Irish Fairies, Irish Faeries, etc. From what I looked into and got to understand on who and what they are as faeries... they are pranksters who make Irish people fight about the details about them. Whenever a community gets comes to a good consensus as to who and what they are, they use their magic to "prove" that wrong and stir the pot.
Sorry about this rant... I have a *LOT* of Irish ancestors, my 2nd biggest bloodline, and my 1st biggest word-of-mouth story source. When I even think of adding Celtic fey into AD&D, it almost feels like I am blaspheming against just about everything because of the grey areas and the pop-culture (even centuries-old) misinterpreted tropes.
This post I just posted will make everyone who has a "totally solid" "well-researched" and "absolutely clear totally accurate" account of Leprechauns go red-faced screaming of how I know nothing, I am stupid, etc etc etc... all the way to questioning my sanity, bringing in religion, quoting "scientific" research of these mythical (fictional) beings, and going even Fox News on me.
So, did they wear red? Yes. Did they not? Yes. Was the read because they are all Gingers? Yes. Is the red because they are Gingers who wear red? Yes. Is the red nothing to do with them? Yes. So, could the red be because they don't wear red? Yes. Could the red be because they are not Gingers? Yes. Could the red actually be a red herring? Yes. Literally, every question is "Yes"... on the details level. Leprechauns were hard to find, always were, but seemed to challenge Humans to find and chase them. So, they liked to play hide-and-seek with random people by enticing them with what they saw as valuable... but wore crap that would make it easy? Or... wore that crap at the challenge, and like Humans, can change their clothes. It's like people think mythical creatures that (if they exist) can remain in the realm of mythology while being stupidly predictable... as if they are projecting their issues upon such mythological creatures.
Personally, I'd rather not deal with a Leprechaun. If I ever caught one and he gave me wishes, I'd ask him to live his best life and make me forget I caught him. That would all be for the best.
@@AJPickett The folklore says they wore red coats specifically because they didn't want to be associated with the more "trooping" fey.
There are also Fey Dragons from Gm Binder. i like it.
As usual, great collection of art. Thanks for the effort. Makes me want to dive back into my Dragon magazine collection just to flip actual paper pages again. ;)
Hey AJ, great video and loved the artwork! The picture of Banana Slug Faerie Dragon that one was epic. I like these friendlier dragons you have been introducing to us, more game play options.
Thanks AJ you have a wonderful day!
Faerie Dragons are going my list of worst dragons simple because they a mess with time just by being near.
They can be the source of the worst natural disaster of every kind. Seasons are twice along. just that alone will have a big impacts . you would have a massive increase in wild life.
Yep. Its ridiculously overpowered.
Thanks for making these AJ! Thought of branching out to Pathfinder? I mean, creatures and most stuff is your standard 3.5, but history / geography etc is completely different.
Now I see why I love Faerie dragons so much. I once got pretty much ignored by police we'd called because we witnessed an altercation and car accident because I kept trying to point out a double rainbow. They probably thought I was high. (Spoiler: I wasn't. That's just how I am.)
Pseudodragons are the ancestors or fae dragons, a group of pseudodragons were imbued with fae magic and eventually became the fae dragons that we know now
My man said, "there's no fucking way..." and had to rewind to make sure I heard that correct.
Might have just missed it in the past but I've never heard you swear 😅
When I do, it's for a reason.
Thanks for the video AJ
cant wait for more videos about the various outer planes.. i know you made a few on the heavens and such.. but i've yet to see any of the dnd lore youtubers cover every single outer plane.. hoping for more from you! yours are great :D
My wife just got a fairy dragon as a familiar last weekend. This video gave her a few ideas how to make use of her new friend.
Did it work out? You've piqued my curiosity
@@noahwolff5455 she had it incapacitate a wererat durring combat once, but otherwise she forgets that she has a familiar most of the time. This is her first time playing DnD.
You find the best images for your videos. I kept stopping your oration to admire the pictures. I took several screenshots to put into my rotating background. Great job!
I like this new thumbnail layout. Feels way more professional than most of your others.
Thank you, good feedback!
My DM has allowed me to play a fairy dragon, His name is honey and is an archfay warlock.
my caracter is also a fairy dragon her name is Ariel and she is a sorcerer
Great video!
The gas they breath might be good for interrogations or brokering deals with certain individuals.
How can I farm some faerie dragons?
Who says you need to farm more than one?
@@VigilanteMike
This campaign of mine is to end every pantheon in DnD. It is logistically wise to farm more than one faerie dragon for their breath weapon.
Thank you Loremaster Pickett. My DM has a new headache!!!
an interesting and fun creature to have around! Thanks
hell yes! so happy for another dragon video!
I love how u set the scene really envelopes me I started play never winter on platform it was good !! Ty went for warlock
yes yes yesssss, I've been waiting for this.
I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time, I am super excited
Can a Faerie Dragon's anima be interacted with under the right circumstances? Since it normally can't interact with the material world, maybe pulling a prank for one might be a funny side quest to get information or something.
Yeah, same as speaking with a ghost.
