Heroes 5 - Sylvan Creatures: Sprite - Sprites are close relatives of the Pixies who live in the higher branches of the Kersyl trees. Their small size and speed allow them to attack more than one creature and to retreat before retaliation is possible. Also, the Sprites' affinity with the woods is such that they can call upon Nature's powers to cast spells in combat. The Sprite is an excellent upgrade, the only level 1 creature capable of casting spells. It is a much more versatile creature, and has better attacking abilities with 50% more damage, as well as doubled attack and defense values. Initiative has also been increased by 2, giving it more opportunities to attack. All this comes for only 20 extra gold - a definite upgrade.
