Sprite (creature)

(重定向自Spright)
The prince thanking the Water sprite, from The Princess Nobody by Andrew Lang
Knut Ekwall, A siren pulls a fisherman underwater.

A sprite is a supernatural legendary creature. They are often depicted as fairy, ghost and/or elf-like creatures.

The word "sprite" is derived from the Latin "spiritus" (spirit). Variations on the term include "spright" (the origin of the adjective "sprightly", meaning "spirited" or "lively") and the Celtic "spriggan". The term is chiefly used in regard to elves and fairies in European folklore, and in modern English is rarely used in reference to spirits or other mythical creatures.
