** ''"(Seriously, we could have died. We probably still will. Faeries are tricky.)"''
* In the [[Whateley Universe]], the Faerie are an ancient race who think of humans as pets raised (originally) in a garden world. They apparently feel the same way about werewolves. Fey, one of the protagonists, was changed into her current appearance by an ancient Faerie spirit who now resides in Fey's head. While Fey is inhumanly beautiful, in "Ill Winds" her true form is a luminescent energy form that isn't remotely human.
* Possibly [https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Faeries_(SCP_Foundation)#:~:text=The%20Faeries%2C%20or%20the%20Fae,failure%20at%20destroying%20the%20Foundation. The Faeries] in ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' lore. These beings were first presented as enemies of the Foundation in the lore of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001-o5 SCP-001 (Dr. Bright’s proposal, “the Factory”)] named such because the name of the race is unknown and they share the Fair Folk’s vulnerability to iron. No physical description of them is given in this proposal, though animated adaptations do tend to make them look like [[Dark Action Girl]] versions of Tinkerbell. They were fleshed out more in later SCPs, making them fit the Trope far more, such as [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/taboo SCP-4000] (their home, which resembles a [[Land of Faerie]] setting and establishes how they can steal names because they lost theirs - the reason nobody knows the actual name of the race), [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2932 SCP-2932] and [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6666 SCP-6666], both [[Eldritch Location]]s containing information on their history and relations to other SCPs. Curiously, these “updates” seem to imply that the original conflict at the Factory occurred [[Good All Along|because they tried to warn the soldiers]] (stated to be forerunners of the Foundation) of the incredible evil the Factory (which the Foundation was trying to use for their own benefit), and [[Cassandra Truth|the Foundation refused to listen.]]
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The "Third Race" from ''[[Gargoyles]]''. Especially the episode when Oberon and Titania were out to capture Xanatos's son Alexander for the Gathering. Goliath thought it was so vile that he actually ''sides'' with Xanatos to prevent Alexander's capture.
** Oberon is consistently depicted in the series as capricious, vain and arrogant, [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|making and breaking edicts on a whim]]. Sure, he'll say his magic will never harm you and yours, and it won't... until he wants it to.
** Aside from their [[Jerkass]] leaders, the other "Children of Oberon" in the series vary greatly in personality, disposition, and form. Though they all tend to be pretty mischievous, even the ones that like humans and Gargoyles. This group also includes [[Macbeth|the Weird Sisters.]]
*** Interestingly, [[Word of God]] has said they used to be a whole lot worse. After being banished from Avalon most changed considerably; besides Oberon who, at the time, was mature and compassionate in comparison. And don't even get started on his [[God Save Us From the Queen|mother]].
*** Titania, his wife, seems to be of the other type thankfully, and is more than capable of controlling her husband. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, she's the instigator for the incident with Alexander. And then also the instigator for the interference of the Gargoyles}}.
