Line 36:
In a manner of speaking, the old version of the Faerie has been replaced with [[Alien Abduction]]. In both cases, you have [[The Greys|creatures]] who are ineffable and don't understand humanity, who randomly abduct humans, play with them, and return them with [[Year Outside, Hour Inside|Time]] [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|Loss]] and occasionally [[Touched by Vorlons|strange powers/afflictions]]. Periodically, there are tales of those who have dealt with them and benefited, but for the most part, mundanes are merely their playthings.
Luckily, much like [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]], fay traditionally have a few [[Achilles' Heel|weaknesses]] that can be exploited, including:
* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells|Iron]] - Sometimes it means striking them with iron weapons, or simply a frying pan or just exposure will do the job. In some settings where this would be too much of a [[Weaksauce Weakness]], it's specified as [[Cold Iron]]. What this actually means varies, as does how effective it is.
Line 42:
* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]] - Sometimes. Note that they ''will'' exploit and [[Ambiguous Syntax|twist]] this for all manner of deception, but a trickster hero can take advantage of this.
* [[Magically-Binding Contract]] - Related to the above. Any deal with the Fair Folk ''will'' be upheld from their end, though they tend to respect only the [[Exact Words|letter]] of any deal they make. God help you if you fail your end of a deal. (God help you even if you don't!)
* [[Pride]] - That bit up there about how they demand to be called the "fair" folk? They're ''all'' like that. To a one, they are proud creatures, concerned primarily with their own grand schemes.
* [[I Know Your True Name|True Name]] - The idea of a 'True Name' has started resurfacing where discovering a fairy's name will either give you power over it or can kill it. It varies whether knowing the name is enough or whether you have to use it all the time. Note: this does not make the user immune [[Loophole Abuse|to]] [[Exact Words|chronic]] [[Jackass Genie|word]] [[Literal Genie|twisting]].
* [[Vampire Invitation|Must Be Invited]] - In older myths a faerie could not enter a house unless invited. As with above, loopholes apply.

Line 83:
* ''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/sleepingbeauty/index.html Sleeping Beauty]'' is gifted by six fairy godmothers with beauty, grace, wit, and great skill in music, singing and dancing, then cursed for spite to prick her hand on a spindle on her sixteenth year and die by a seventh fairy. The curse is softened, but cannot be completely removed, by the final fairy.
* In an [[Older Than Print]] example from ancient [[Celtic Mythology]] you have the Aes Sidhe and their subculture the Tuatha De Danaan. The original Fair Folk, these guys were brutal and unrelenting. You did ''not'' want to piss these guys off under any circumstance.
* The Curupira from Brazilian folklore looks like an amalgam between indigenous [[Nature Spirit|nature deities]] and European faeries. Regardless of his origins and his role as a fierce nature guardian, he is generally perceived as a wicked, demonic and sometimes downright sociopathic entity with [[Evil Redhead|beautiful red hair]] who can (and will) do anything to protect the animals and forests of his domains. He is particularly infamous for [[Shapeshifting Seducer|shape-shifting into attractive forms]] to lure abusive hunters and woodcutters deep into the forest. The footprints of his backward feet will ensure anyone who follows him will never find the way out from the woods and there he promptly starts a [[Wild Hunt]], hunting the men down with a giant wild boar and ultimately destroying them.
* Púca/ Pooka of Irish mythology. In the original mythology Púca were sociopathic shape-sifters, whose favoured form was a [[Hellish Horse|huge, black demonic horse]] with [[Eyes of Gold|glowing yellow eyes]] and whose other forms always had dark colourations/clothing and were [[Uncanny Valley|suitably wrong]], who only behaved themselves one night of the year (the first of November, when they are tired after running riot at Samhain/Halloween), and couldn’t enter any dwelling uninvited or stand the touch of iron, but could stand outside your home and destroy your crops if you angered them and refused to come out and face them. When not riding along the hills and woodlands terrifying honest travelers, they blighted any crops left un-harvested after a certain amount to time. Or they demanded a share of all crops, newly made beer, or newly gathered milk. Or they’d trample fields, sour beer, render cattle barren (or [[Shapeshifting Squick|used their shape-shifting ability to impregnate them with mutated offspring]]). In their horse form, they lured young men who were [[Scare'Em Straight|drunk on pilgrimage or profaning the Sabbath]] into trying to [[Too Dumb to Live|ride them out of machismo]] at which point the Púca horse vanishes and the young man is either never seen again or changed forever, and tried to lure solitary milkmaids or other naive, lonely maids to an [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|undisclosed fate in fairyland]].
* The Tylwyth Teg of Welsh-Celtic folklore spent most of their time cheerfully kidnapping human children, presumably by way of recreational activity. According to ancient folk wisdom, the best way of killing a changeling child was to pop it in the oven. Fun, huh?
Line 89:
** If we're talking about Scotland, what about the Redcap? A [[Ax Crazy|maliciously murderous]] fae who lived along the old Scots-English Border, he amused himself by randomly murdering people, sometimes [[I'm a Humanitarian|devouring]] them, and all just so he could dip his hat in their blood. [[Sarcasm Mode|Fun guy, really]].
*** If he stops doing these he will die! this may justify him
* Stories of the "Little People" pervade the legends of many North American tribes. The Cherokee in particular have many legends surrounding them, and group these fairy-like beings into three clans; the Rock People, the Laurel People, and the Dogwood People. The Laurel people were considered to be friendly and playful, and often played games with children. The Dogwood People were stern, serious, and preferred to be left at peace. The Rock People, who dwelled in caves far away from human settlements, were feared, as it was believed that disturbing them would provoke their wrath, and whomever did so would have some horrible calamity befall them. Cherokee in more isolated regions to this day still believe in the legends, and it is said that if a child has an [[Imaginary Friend]], this is actually the Little People playing with them.
** The Seminole have stories of little people who live in hollow logs out in the woods. When lightning strikes a tree, it is thought to be the gods trying to fry the mischievous little things. They are best known for leading people astray in the woods, and you are never supposed to call to a companion who is out of sight. It is likely to be the little people responding to you in their voice to lead you astray.
* [[Baba Yaga]] displays many qualities of Fair Folk in Russian storytelling, though is often referred to as the ''Witch of the Iron Forest''.
Line 96:
== [[Film--Animation]] ==
* Even though she's usually called a witch these days, Maleficent, of [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney's]] ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', is actually a "wicked fairy".
** To quote ''[[Discworld|Nanny Ogg's Cookbook]]'': "How hard is it to invite her along, give her plenty of drink and a plate of ham rolls all to herself, and keep her out of the way of your posh auntie? Play your cards right and you could be ahead by an extra good wish."
** Even the supposed good fairies have elements of this. They certainly mean to help, but the way they go about things is a bit reckless. While brainstorming on how to keep Aurora from pricking her finger, the fairies thought it was absolutely brilliant to turn her into a flower. The only reason they didn't was because they realize Maleficent could cause a frost and kill her that way. Then there's the part where they put the entire kingdom under a sleep spell so that the king doesn't find out about Aurora.
Line 104:
** Note that said fairy was disguised as a poor old woman in the dead of winter. The prince's lack of hospitality and compassion would have been a death sentence if she'd been what she appeared to be. Her punishment was designed to correct his character flaws, never mind that his staff didn't deserve it, or that the prince was so young.
*** It's been mentioned by the staff that it was also their fault that the prince turned out the way he did.
**** But he's also between the ages of six and ten at the time going by the narrative.
* ''[[Spirited Away]]'' is a Japanese [[Youkai]] [[Fairy Tale]] that portrays them as acting very similar to [[The Fair Folk]].
* Aisling from ''[[The Secret of Kells]]''. Though she turns out to be much nicer than how the Fair Folk are usually portrayed, she still doesn't take kindly to those who intrude in her forest and initially even threatens to set her wolves on Brendan if he doesn't leave.
Line 113:
** Not to mention [[Magnificent Bastard|Jareth himself]] and his Goblins; the film is essentially a changeling tale.
** And the Fieries. They're playful rather than evil, but they have unfortunate gaps in their understanding of human physiology...
** Also the brownie that screws up the marks Sarah's using to get through the maze. Of course, from his perspective, she's defacing his flagstones.
** Brian Froud (mentioned below) did much of the concept art for the movie. His son Toby plays Toby from the movie.
* Guillermo del Toro's ''[[Pan's Labyrinth]]'' wasn't short of creepy magical beings either. Even the nice ones were patently eerie.
Line 137:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Once and Future King]]'', the Faeries appear, led by Morgan Le Fay. While it was an [[Unbuilt Trope]] at the time the book was written, the Faeries are much more the alien and malicious type. Although [[It Makes Sense in Context|Robin Hood and Maid Marien]] argue whether they are Faeries or not.
* [[Arthur Machen]] went back to the earliest folklore and legends and created a particularly nightmarish version he called the Little People. They appeared in his famous stories "The Shining Pyramid" and ''[[wikipedia:The Three Impostors|The Three Imposters]]''.
** ''[http://www.ghostbox.co.uk/boxes/the_white_people.pdf The White People]'' is the [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|transcription]] of a young girl's diary mentioning the strange advices of [[Evil Mentor|her nurse]], encounters with "nymphs", mysterious ceremonies and [[Campbell Country|ancient roman ruins]].
* Certainly, [[Brian Froud]] belongs at the top here. Modern audiences must have had a shock when his collaboration with Alan Lee, ''[[Faeries]],'' hit the shelves. It was one of the first books to include as many scary Fairy stories as nice stories. Froud has vocally emphasized that, while there are indeed evil Fairies and good Fairies in mythology, the vast majority of them are neutral. He actually apologizes, in the introduction, for the self-contradictory title of his follow-up book, ''Bad Faeries/Good Faeries''.
* In [[Aaron Allston]]'s ''[[Doc Sidhe]]'' the Fair Folk are just as morally varied as humans are. Furthermore, the Fairy World has advanced at the nearly same rate as the human world, so fairies in the 1990s have 1930s level technology, mixed with magic (which is no longer called magic because it can be studied scientifically). And they've interbred with humans so many times as a result of changelings and other visitations that most are nearly human height. And one of the fairies is a [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[Doc Savage]]. It's a lot [[Better Than It Sounds]].
Line 172:
* [[The Fair Folk]] in Tom Deitz's ''Tales of David Sullivan'' are completely unable to comprehend human morality. They have a very strict code of honor, and show signs of honest affection for others, but they are truly immortal -- if they are killed, they simply come back. They fight wars out of sheer boredom. This leaves them without any understanding of human death, and thus extremely careless of consequences. They also have very little sense of human social mores: to start with, one of the secondary characters has sex with a selkie, both in humanoid forms and in seal forms. They are very clearly the old gods of Ireland, with all the capriciousness one would expect from having read any Irish [[Mythology]] at all.
* The Others in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are a cross between elves, vampires, and cold elementals. The children of the forest are a diminutive, woodland folk with great power. Although they warred with mankind, they eventually made peace, then dwindled away as civilization swept through the continent.
* [[Tad Williams]] seems to like this one, as he uses variants on it in several of his works:
** In ''[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn]]'', you have the Sithi (basically benevolent, but still alien and unpredictable and with little love for humans) and the Norns (their arctic, [[Always Chaotic Evil]] cousins). Physically, they resemble eerily beautiful and graceful humans with [[Eyes of Gold]] and [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|white]] [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|hair]], but Sithi have golden skin and dye their hair various bright colors, while the Norns have chalk white skin and leave their hair its natural color.
** In ''[[The War of the Flowers]]'', "fairy" can be used to describe any intelligent inhabitant of the [[Magical Land]] the protagonist gets stuck in, but specifically refers to the humanoid aristocracy, who are ([[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|almost]]) always [[Aristocrats Are Evil|evil]].
** Largely subverted in ''[[Shadowmarch]]''; the Qar (fairy) races are alien and hostile to humans, but on the whole are no more or less prone to evil than mortals, and the real villains are the mortal [[Evil Overlord]] {{spoiler|and the [[Trickster Archetype]] god who's manipulating him}}. [[Lady of War|Lady]] [[Dark Action Girl|Yasammez]], the most overtly menacing and hostile of the Qar, actually {{spoiler|ends up making a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.
* The fairies in [[Charles de Lint]]'s [[The Blue Girl]] have no sense of empathy and are very mischievous. The ghost in the book was a lonely nerdy boy who they befriended because he could see them. They told him they would make him able to fly and when he jumps off the school roof they let him fall to his death for their amusement. They don't really understand why he's so mad when he comes back as a ghost. Let it also be noted that they didn't lie to him, they can actually make him fly and they were doing so but they just decided it would be funny to let him fall.
* The [[Alternate Universe]] version of Tir Gwyngelli in [[Teresa Edgerton]]'s ''[[Celydonn|The Grail and the Ring]]'' is [[Fairyland]] - the version of Tir Gwyngelli popular in many travellers' tales.
Line 212:
* [[Gene Wolfe]]'s ''No Planets Strike'' has the Beautiful Ones of the [[Recycled in Space|planet Sidhe]], who allow unlimited immigration in (supplemented by luring sailors off trading spaceships) but won't allow anyone to leave once there, kill those who try, and horrifically torture those who otherwise run afoul of them.
* They featured heavily in [[Chivalric Romance]]. Such as ''Sir Orfeo'', which starts with the king of Fairy kidnapping Orfeo's wife -- although when Orfeo gets a promise out of him, he does [[I Gave My Word|keep it]]. They are particularly likely in the earlier ones. Such as Morgan Le Fay (Le Fay = the Fairy, don't forget), who really was one of the Fair Folk in the oldest romances. The Lady Of the Lake was also a fairy who mutated into an enchantress. Still, they never quite left; the late romance ''Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'' features the Green Knight who is overtly one of the Fair Folk.
** In ''Sir Orfeo'', the fairy king takes people at the moment of their death and keeps them in his kingdom as they were then:
{{quote|''Then he began to gaze about''
''and saw within the walls a rout''
Line 248:
* Fairy lore plays a part in Tana French's novel ''In the Woods''. The mystery of {{spoiler|what happened to Rob and his friends in 1984}} is deliberately left ambiguous, but one valid interpretation is that {{spoiler|the Pooka took the kids}}. In the sequel, ''The Likeness'', it's hinted that Whitethorn House {{spoiler|may have been a fairy stronghold and that the family at some point coupled or intermarried with the Fair Folk}}. (It's also possible that this is just nasty local rumor, in part meant to justify the village's ongoing dislike of the family.) Cassie is also spooked by unseen things scuttling around in the fields at night.
* ''[[Sea of Trolls|The Land of the Silver Apples]]'' by Nancy Farmer. The elves kidnap toddlers, put them on leashes, and when they get tired of them, leave them for the wolves to eat.
* In the ''[[Wicked Lovely]]'' series, the main plot of the first book has the main character dealing with being caught in between two faeries and in the other books almost all of the main characters are Fey. They fit very much within this trope. Even the ones that are rather nice don't tend to understand human emotions, some of them are downright cruel, and many have a [[Blue and Orange Morality]] going.
* In the ''[[Fever Series]]'' by Karen Marie Moning the Fae are definitely not cute or charming. At all.
* Many of the characters in Elizabeth Hand's novel ''Mortal Love'' are implied to be Fair Folk. One of the main characters, Larkin, is even referred to directly as "La Belle Dame Sans Merci".
Line 264:
* Althought the [[Our Elves Are Better|elves]] are more similar to the Tolkien version, the elves in the [[Inheritance Cycle]] nonetheless have traits similar to this. Elves are immortal and magical creatures and though they're mostly good guys it's outright stated that they are haughty, arrogant, twist the truth around and are constantly plotting.
* The [[Slavic Mythology|Veela]] in [[Harry Potter]] are all beautiful and alluring creatures whose dancing exerts a form of [[Glamour|mind control]] over the men who watch them. When angered they transform into birdlike, taloned creatures and throw balls of light.
** The [[Our Goblins Are Different|goblins]] are described as a cunning and ruthless and their sense of morality is different from ours. For example, in the first book when Harry visits the wizard bank, the goblins who run it say that anyone who tries to break into a vault will be sucked inside and trapped. The goblin smiles and says that they only check the vaults for would be thieves every few years.
* In [[Tam Lin]], the Queen of Elphame lures humans into her realm where she eventually sacrifices them as a tithe to Hell.
* The fairies in ''Poison'' fit this perfectly. The whole plot is set in motion by one of them kidnapping the heroine's sister.
Line 283:
** By extension, all the Time Lords can be considered this.
* Although he got downright cuddly in later adaptations, the forerunner of the character who became ''[[LazyTown]]'''s Sportacus is damn scary, though technically good, in the first play. There are times it seems that Áfram Latibær's moral is actually ''supposed'' to be "behave, or the big bad scary Sports Elf will get you".
* ''[[Lost Girl]]'': Every supernatural creature is effectively fae. This includes vampires, kappa, succubi, and lots of other nasty things (thought [[Dark Is Not Evil]] is in effect for some of the characters). The ruling bodies of the Fae are effectively the Seelie and Unseelie Courts (here referred to as "Light" and "Dark"), and both courts view humans as a handy tool for their plans and ascribe to rather dated notions of justice (such as [[Combat by Champion]]).
* In the ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' episode "Clap Your Hands If You Believe...", fairies are initially mistaken for aliens due to their penchant for abducting people.
* The Black Lodge people from ''[[Twin Peaks]]''.
Line 342:
*** The Elves are [[Our Elves Are Better|as beautiful, shiny and powerful]] as they usually are. However, even the "good" ones [[Fantastic Racism|strongly believe all other races to be inferior]], though a few tolerate the better (and, ahem, most handsome) humans (but never [[Elves vs. Dwarves|dwarves]] or [[Always Chaotic Evil|monstrous humanoids]]). A neutral Elf will kill anything he perceives as a potential threat to the Elves or their forests without a moment's hesitation. The less said about the Elves who are ''actually'' evil, the better.
*** The Shadow World make use of the Seelie and Unseelie Court concepts. The Unseelie are as vile and bloodthirsty as you'd expect, but the Seelie can also be very dangerous due to how alien their mindset is. They don't think twice about kidnapping human children like puppies who caught their eye -- they tend not to see humans as people. Changeling "pets" see a good care, though, and can fend for themselves (even in the Shadow World) by the time they aren't that cute and Seelie sends them away.
** In The [[Points of Light]] setting of 4e, in addition to the Eladrin, there are the Fomorians, a race of hideous, evil giants who universally have the powers of "the evil eye" and have the eternal allegiance of all the cyclopses.
** In [[Ravenloft]], the Arak or "shadow fey" range from meddlesome to [[Always Chaotic Evil]] in temperment, and don't limit themselves to stealing infants: if you have a talent or skill that appeals to them, they can sever your shadow, reducing you to a soulless automaton going through the motions. Your shadow becomes a construct that'll compliantly work for them forever. Even Good-aligned Arak insist they're ''doing them a favor'' when they practice this technique on mortals.
*** Even the conventional "sylvan fey" of the Land of Mists can be nastier than elsewhere, due to the ambient influence of the Dark Powers throughout the setting.
Line 361:
* ''[[GURPS]] Technomancer'', a modern-day fantasy setting, has fairies taking the place of [[The Greys]] - Seelie and Unseelie encounters involving abductions, lights in the sky, traumatic repressed memories, and rumors of two Seelie being captured near [[Roswell]]...
* In ''[[Ars Magica]]'', The Oath of Hermes, the pledge all mages must take if they wish to join the Order of Hermes (and not get hunted down by said order for practicing unapproved magic), there is a specific phrase: "I shall not molest the Fae." Understand, this is in ''[[Ars Magica]],'' which isn't exactly lacking in all sorts of nifty demons, monsters, and crazy magic-users to make life more exciting. No, it's [[The Fair Folk]] that get singled out: all those other monsters will kill you, or even torment you, but the Fae like to get ''creative'' and play with you first.
** Although the Code does specifically prohibit dealings with the Infernal, it's usually because there's just no way to win against Demons and that kind of thing breeds diabolism (and ends up being what got House Tytalus in trouble). But they tell you ''do not molest the Fae'' because although they ''can'' be dealt with fairly and can even have good relationships with other denizens of Mythic Europe (as House Merinita can attest), ''they do not forget being slighted, ever'', and they ''will'' carry grudges, and they have ''very'' creative ways of expressing them. The (usually high-point-value) Flaw "Faerie Enmity" can be taken without actually providing a specific reason: your ''great-great-grandfather'' you never even met might've offended some faerie at some point and that's the only reason they need.
* In the history of the game [[Fairy Meat]] humans at one point existed (and still may, but they aren't relevant any more) and were taunted by the Fae, but that time has long since passed. Now all fairies are more busy trying to rip each other apart so they can [[I'm a Humanitarian|have some lunch]].
* [[The Laundry Series|The Laundry RPG]] brings faeries into the universe of cthulhoid "information entities." Like the series' demons, they're made up of information strung together through an electromagnetic field, explaining why iron messes them up so badly; similarly, it's said they appear rarely in modern Britain, given how the nation is wired to the gills. They do take children, however, and changelings are explained away as a class four [[Glamour]] placed over a poppet made of twigs and string to make it look like it's a real child. And the kids? They're [[Body Horror|turned into biological computation matrices]] in order to sustain a field that will keep the faerie in our world.
== Theater ==
* The fae of ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'' are actually an early aversion, much as one might expect from [[Shakespeare]]. They are portrayed as close to human and Oberon's interference with the lovers is actually benevolent although, of course, [[Hilarity Ensues|things go awry]].
** One interpretation of Puck's speech at the end of the play is that Shakespeare is actually telling people not to fear the faeries. This ties in to his portrayal of the faeries as mostly benevolent and this was relevant to the Elizabethans because they really did fear [[The Fair Folk]].
* Another aversion by Shakespeare is Mercutio's speech in [[Romeo and Juliet]]. In it he talks about how Queen Mab flies around at night giving people happy dreams, but also sometimes causes mischief and nightmares but these are no worse than minor tricks.

* In the webcomic ''[[Chasing the Sunset]]'', there are many types of Fey, who usually don't bother humans and others until bothered first. The common exception are pixies. Pixies are not evil per se but extremely mischievous and scatterbrained. The kind of things you do ''not'' want in a fireworks shop. [[Bonus Material]] includes "[http://www.fantasycomic.com/index.php?p=pixietrouble pixie facts]" and a [http://www.fantasycomic.com/index.php?p=7minwar story] of 20 pixies attacking a wizards' tower just because they didn't have anything better to do.
Line 440:
* ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'' may or may not invoke this trope; while the fae seem mostly good on the surface, at worst being strange and random, it has been shown that {{spoiler|Mab, one of the title characters, has secretly been manipulating her friends for her own (unknown) ends for an indefinite length of time. What she has been doing so far seems to be to their benefit, but only as far as we know...}}

* In ''[[Arthur, King of Time and Space]]'', the Fey have agreed to help Morgan become queen, for impenetrable reasons of their own (hence "Morgan le Fey"). However, they don't actually seem to be all that bright...
* Fey in ''[[Code Name: Hunter]]'' seem to be mostly a combination of the Scottish and Irish traditional fair folk. Including kidnapping of mere mortals in order to pay tithe to [[Hell]].
** Max once lampshaded the "Disney" idea most Americans have of fairies. [http://www.codenamehunter.com/archive/comic/2011/11/14 "Trust me, a person would have to be desperate to go through a fey gate"]
