Line 17:
{{examples}}
== [[The Fair Folk|Fairy/Phaery/Faerie]] ==
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' lampshades it:
{{quote|'''Tea:''' Fairies? Faeries? Phayrighies? It doesn't matter; they all mean the same thing. }}
Line 34:
* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', it's faeries.
* Both ''[[Changeling: The Dreaming]]'' and [[Changeling: The Lost]] go for "faerie" or "fae." In ''Lost'', it's divided up amongst "faerie/fae," lowercase (to refer to all things that draw power from the Wyrd), "Faerie," uppercase (to refer to [[Eldritch Location|Arcadia]]) and "the True Fae" (to refer to [[The Fair Folk|the Gentry]]).
== Fantasy/Phantasy ==
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* The older 8-bit ''[[Phantasie]]'' game series.
* ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]''.
== [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampire/Vampyr(e)]] ==
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
{{quote|"You're the boss vampire?"
"With a Y. Spell vampyre with a Y!" }}
* In the latest{{when}} ''[[The Tomb of Dracula]]'' series, starring Marvel horror mainstay Blade, it's indirectly implied that a vamp''y''re is comepletely different from a vamp''i''re. From the context, they're apparently analogous to the real life vampire subculture, except they hobnob with actual vampires and are really obnoxious about it.▼
== Other/Multiple ==
Line 78 ⟶ 82:
* [[China Mieville]]'s [[Perdido Street Station]] [[The Scar|and]] [[Iron Council|sequels]] employ this trope heavily—vampirs, chymistry, elyctric elementals...
* [[Warhammer 40,000]] in an odd mix of sci-fi and fantasy. Orks ''vs.'' Orcs, Psykers ''vs.'' Psychics, Daemons ''vs.'' Demons, etc.
** Daemon is the Latin spelling, which is understandable because the Imperial High Gothic language is [[Canis Latinicus]]. Of course, ''[[Warhammer Fantasy]]'' likewise.
** Daemon comes from the Greek "Daimon", meaning minor immortal or spirit. It's the eventual root of the Christian concept of "Demon".
* Mention must be made of the series of young adult fantasy novels by Angie Sage whose titles include ''Magick, Flyte, Physik, Queste,'' and so on.
Line 91 ⟶ 95:
*** Justified in Edward Ormondroyd's ''David and the Phoenix'', where gryffens (lazy, dopey, and harmless), gryffons (big, mean, and territorial), and gryffins (red-feathered and friendly) are related but distinct species.
*** ''[[EverQuest]]'' divides them into Griffawns (lowest-level), Griffennes (in the middle), and Griffons (highest-level)
▲* In the latest ''[[The Tomb of Dracula]]'' series, starring Marvel horror mainstay Blade, it's indirectly implied that a vamp''y''re is comepletely different from a vamp''i''re. From the context, they're apparently analogous to the real life vampire subculture, except they hobnob with actual vampires and are really obnoxious about it.
* ''[[Discworld]]'' parodies this occasionally, not only with the 'vampyres' listed above, but also with 'magick' which is the largely-useless modern attempt at witchcraft done by the younger witches who don't understand what they're doing.
