Peacock Sprite

Drawn with watercolour pencils.

Traits: The Peackock Sprite is aptly named as it's shimmering wings are of the same colours as the peacock's. It inhabits places where flowers are abundant, such as meadows, forests and even human gardens. They are seasonal creatures and only appear in the spring and summer. A special feature of these sprites is that when they hibernate in winter, their wings fall off, meaning they can keep heat concentrated within their bodies. In early spring, their wings grow back again, and they take around three weeks to fully develop.

Regions: Southern Europe, Parts of America
