Dawn fairy (Nympha Aurora)
This forest and meadow fairy performs her dances mainly at dawn and at sunset until the first dusk. In the summer, it nibbles on the juice of flowers and enjoys forest fruits, and in gardens and orchards it nibbles on fruit from trees. She will not disdain even the treats that people offer her. They dance even on frosty days, but only in the sunshine. In the presence of the dawn fairy, people are in a good mood, smile and do not argue. Dancing with her is very healthy. During the summer, the fairy reaches a height of up to 1 meter, in the winter it is much smaller and slimmer.
Sod forest (Caespus Silvestris)
This tiny elf lives in the hollows of trees or digs burrows in the roots. During the summer, he wears a sod coat. When he reaches adulthood, he dresses in a fur coat made of bird feathers that he collects in the forest. His pride is his thick beard, which he takes great care of. It is not aggressive, but if attacked, it is very brave and fights regardless of the size and strength of the opponent. She takes care of her family in an exemplary way and raises her children with love. They feed on seeds, hazelnuts, mushrooms and forest fruits. Although he is the smallest of the forest elves, he is not the weakest. During the winter, it hibernates, goes to bed with the first snow, and wakes up when the underbrush begins to bloom.
Oak tree dry (Querculus Arida)
The inconspicuous forest man lives in oak groves. It is very difficult to discover it, because it can hide perfectly in the crown of a tree. It is densely covered with oak leaves and acorns and changes with the seasons of the tree. He takes care of the correct planting of acorns and the protection of young seedlings. It is necessary for the life of the tree. Therefore, it is permanently settled in one place and does not change its habitat for the entire life of the tree, on average about 300 years. Its inconspicuousness allows it to remain unnoticed even on frequented hiking trails.
Spongy moss (Muscus Spongiosus)
This cute elf is very difficult to spot, as he is well protected by moss all over his body, from which only his nose, hands and feet stick out. If it curls into a ball and doesn't move, it looks like a pillow of moss. They stay mostly near the edible mushrooms they feed on. It also needs moist forest soil, abundant rain and sunlight passing through tree branches to survive. He doesn't like to change his place during the day, he doesn't want to be conspicuous. At night, however, he roams his territory, looking for and tasting the most delicious mushrooms. It grows to a height of up to 15 cm and is fat. It is more common in warmer areas. He doesn't like tall grass because he can't find his way around it.
Bristle thicket (Saetiger Virgulta)
A small blue-grey ghost hides in the thickets and saplings of coniferous forests. It only comes out at dusk and at night, it is grumpy and solitary in nature. Sometimes it also stays in the ruins of old castles and in various ruins, where nettles and bushes grow undisturbed. They feed on forest and meadow fruits (thorns, rosehips, rowanberries and young shoots of conifers). He prepares supplies of them for the winter and stores them in the crevices of the caves, where he sleeps. He is very stingy and is able to fight over his supplies, even with a squirrel, although the latter is stronger. He consistently avoids people. He doesn't make any contact with them, but he also doesn't hurt or scare them. He likes his peace and knows how to defend it.
Willow spring (Pendula Veris)
The lushly overgrown rusalka of the stream banks is bright green in color, its leaves have healing properties. Anyone who lies down near her in the spring months and listens to her singing will get rid of headaches, toothaches, migraines, etc. In the winter months, the Vrbinka becomes woody and stiff and does not mind human intervention. The more people prune it during its winter dormancy, the more it will grow back in the spring.
