** The manga, meanwhile, gives her Ancient Pixie Dragon, one of many Duel Dragons filled with dark power: those who possess them unworthily become possessed by them. The dragon itself is almost identical to Ancient Fairy Dragon in appearance and stats, only being DARK instead of LIGHT, but her effects are more focused on drawing power from the land (draw when a Field Spell activates and destroy an opposing monster if there’s a Field Spell in play).

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'': Seath the Scaleless has some elements of this. While he's certainly not small, he has fairy-like gossammer wings and is very adept in magic. In fact, in-universe he ''invented'' Sorcery. Even his BreathWeapon (a beam of light that generates cursed crystals) is actually a spell, not a native ability.

* A strange, downplayed example can be found in ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'' with the wingles, a group of colorful, lizard-like rattiles that developed the ability to fly using modified scales that act as almost insect-like wings, and fill a niche similar to hummingbirds. They thus resemble this trope at least visually, even though, like every other vertebrate on the planet HP-02017, [[ItMakesSenseInContext they are actually hamsters.]]

** Moonstone Dragons are obscure dragons who debuted in ''TabletopGame/AdvancedDungeonsAndDragonsSecondEdition'' in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix Annual Volume 2. Characterized as reclusive and gentle-natured, and distinguished by blue-tinted silver scales, they are full-sized dragons (contrasting the small faerie dragon) who native to the Realm of Faerie and the Plane of Dreams, and when discovered in the mortal world are usually residing within or near faerierealms, or portals to the faerie plane, dream plane, or ethereal plane. They vanished after 2nd edition, though the name reappeared as a nickname for the Ethereal Dragons of the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' in 3rd edition. Fifth edition finally saw them return from obscurity in the sourcebook "Fizban's Compendium of Dragons", with some slight tweaks.

* Shanableh/[[spoiler:Tatsuzawa]] from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' takes this literally, as they are the child of a dragon and a fairy. They are significantly weaker than most other dragons as a result (only being on par with a human wizard as opposed to one step below divinity), though their fairy ancestry gives them an innate desire to help people that becomes stronger the more work they has to do. [[spoiler:This is why she's able to adapt to living on Earth far faster than any of the other dragons (to the point that Kobayashi was completely unaware she wasn't human until informed by a third party despite having been coworkers for several months), as the life of a modern day office worker is perfect for someone like her.]]

* ''TabletopGame/{{Midgard}}'' is home to the Chernomoi, or "lairsprites", which are an unusual take on this trope, being literally half dragon and half fairy. The result is an unusually large sprite with scales, claws, and draconic wings instead of the usual insectile wings.

Examples aren't arguable.


* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' has Flygon, an insect-winged reptilian Pokémon based on an adult antlion. However, it is not actually classified as a Fairy-type, instead being a Dragon/Ground type. Mega Altaria arguably also qualifies, since it's a Fairy/Dragon type, though it looks more like a bird than a dragon.
