Fairies are minor enemies in Shovel Knight. They appear as grey furred flying creature, with two tiny legs, wings and rabbit-like ears. They can be found in the Explodatorium, the Clockwork Tower and Tower of Fate: Entrance, and the Stranded Ship. But only four while grabbing the War Horn from Chester.
Tactics
Faeries steadily float slowly and directly towards their target, even through walls. Once in range, they swoop down with a fast biting attack. They have only one hit point and deal half a damage point. Upon death they drop a 5 gold worth blue gem and a jar. They also try and knock their target off of platforms, often into pits.
Faeries can quickly chain attacks on their target if not dealt with swiftly. They are best dealt with with a ranged attack or by luring them in range of main weapons.
