Sprite

The sprite monster is usually found with Forest Watchman in A sun-dappled path area. One or two appear with up to 3 of the watchmen with it. (Total of four monsters at any one time.) Great monster to grind against for gold and it's counterpart is great for exp.

It is monster number 29 in the Book of Monsters in the History. It also starts with Confusion at the beginning of the battle.

Stats
It has a high physical defense, high magical defense (apart from Fireball) and high evasion. This means you won't be able to hit it successful much less deal significan damage. But it does give one of the highest gold drops up until this point (apart from bosses).

Skills Used
The sprite is mainly a magical creature so it will use skills over general attacking. It also has a 100% skill employ rate. Here are the skills it'll use during the course of a battle:
 * 1) Ridaci (Heal for up too 100 hp)
 * 2) Clear Abnormal States (usually in the first activation)
 * 3) Clear Lowered Abilities
 * 4) Revi (revives an ally at 100 hp)
 * 5) Goodbye (used after it has revived an ally.)

Item Drops
As with all monsters, the sprite will drop two specific items at specific times.
 * At ten encounters, it will drop an Angel's Wings.
 * At twenty encounters, it will drop Diffusing Gem.

Battle
The easiest way to kill the sprite is to have Clia and/or Harty cast Fireball lvl 2 whenever they can. Have Effat and Viper focus on the watchmen while your magic users sling Fireballs. Two Fireballs will usually kill the Sprite (provided your INT is high enough). That's about the only thing that does significant damage to the Sprite. Since it has a high evasion, your melee fighters won't be able to touch it, and if they do, they'll deal maybe 1 or 2 damage compared to the ~100 damage Fireball does.

Since it starts with Confusion, it will either cast Clear All Abnormal States on one member of the party or attack one of it's allies. Confusion will last for about 1-2 activations. By this point, it should be defeated so it can't deal any damage to the party.

If it hasn't been defeated and the watchmen are all gone, it will revive one of them at 100 hp. If you want the gold and exp, you need to defeat the sprite ''before you kill the watchman. ''It will flee the battle if it's still alive after the watchman is gone.
