Fairypod variety: BlueBerry Hill

Characteristics: BlueBerry Hill PodFairies are a common variety. They bloom from Fairypods of the same name which can be found growing in grassy meadows. Their name comes from BlueBerry Hill, an area where Fairy Pods of this variety grow especially abundantly.
The BlueBerry Hill PodFairies can be easily identified by their bright blue hair.





Fairypod variety: HoneyBerry

Characteristics: Working closely side-by-side with honey bees, HoneyBerry PodFairies are most often found in areas with many undisturbed, wild-growing flowers. HoneyBerry seeds, pods and fairies all give off a subtle sweet honey-like aroma. To identify a HoneyBerry PodFairy look for distinctive brown and yellow striping and a pair of small antennae.




Fairypod variety: Mer-Lagoon

Characteristics: Mer-Lagoon FairyPods have only been found in a very special location – around secluded jungle lagoons (particularly those inhabited by Mermaids). For this reason finding a FairyPod plant or spotting one of its PodFairies is rare indeed. The fairies are easily identified by their mermaid-like appearance. Look out for them not only in the skies, but also underwater as they are exceptional swimmers.




Fairypod variety: Rapunzel Weed

Characteristics: The Rapunzel Weed Fairy Pod is one of the more common Pod varieties. It is usually found growing only in areas with tall grasses. This is believed to be due to the physical characteristics of the Rapunzel Weed Pod Fairy – living amongst the tall grass aids in camouflaging their uniquely long, brightly coloured hair. Unfortunately, because of its long hair, this variety of Pod Fairy is especially susceptible to capture by humans.




Fairypod variety: Citrus Flyer

Characteristics: Citrus Flyers are typically found growing around fruit trees of the Citrus family – tangerine and lemon trees in particular. Citrus Flyers are one of the few [discovered] Pod Fairy varieties to possess a rather painful defence mechanism – when attacked they mist their opponent’s eyes with a stong citus acidic spray. On the positive side, the mist smells like sweet lemonade and is known to be very good for the complextion.




Fairypod variety: Sakura Breeze

Characteristics: A variety native to Japan where they are found growing only during Cherry Blossom season, the Sakura Blossom plant produces a vibrant pink Pod Fairy. Though hard to spot, your best bet for observing a Sakura Breeze fairy in the wild is to find them flying amongst the fluttering petals that fall from the Cherry trees.




Fairypod variety: Mint Ghost

Characteristics: The Mint Ghost seed produces a pod with a soft minty-green colour. Much more intresting than the pods though, are the Pod Fairies which bloom from this variety – they earn their name from their pale green colouring which gives them an ethereal ghost-like glow.




Fairypod variety: Boo Lantern

Characteristics: Should you leave your Halloween Jack-o-Lantern outdoors long enough you may be lucky to have this variety of Fairy Pod begin to grow from it. The Pod Fairies which bloom from this plant are especially mischevious and are known to play tricks on unsuspecting humans, but fear not for they can be coaxed into good behaviour by offering a small sugary treat.




Fairypod variety: Polar Lace

Characteristics: A Fairy Pod known to begin growing after autumn’s first frosty night and flourish until warmer weather returns in the spring. The fairies which bloom from this plant are characterized by their warm bundled coats and rosy cheeks.




Fairypod variety: Belle of the Valley

Characteristics: A pretty variety found in lush woodland vallies of high mountain ranges. Belle of the Valley fairies are flower-tenders, caring for wild flowers that grow within their territory. Fairies of this variety are amongst the most difficult to capture.




Fairypod variety: Scarlet SkyDancer

Characteristics: The Skarlet SkyDancer variety of Fairy Pods is considerably common but grows in particular abundance during the autumn months. To spot a Scarlet SkyDancer your best bet is to search deciduous forests with trees whose leaves are in the midst of changing colour to oranges, reds, yellows and browns.




Fairypod variety: Angelic Pretty

Characteristics: A Pod known to grow year round, springing from the foundations of old stone buildings and very often churches. For this reason over time the name ‘Angelic Pretty’ was given to this variety. The fairies which bloom from this pod are a sweet, docile breed very comfortable with humans. They have been known to make themselves at home in people’s attics when cold weather sets in, and are frequent visitors to country picnics.




Fairypod variety: Santa’s Helper

Characteristics: The Santa’s Helper variety can be found growing in Evergreen forests only during the month of December. Although the fairies themselves are rarely seen by human eyes, their handiwork is easily spotted – Santa’s Helper fairies gather berries, straw, feathers and other pretty forest items with which to carefully decorate the trees within their territory.




Fairypod variety: New Year Baby

Characteristics: Formerly known as the ‘Bouncing Baby’ Fairy Pod, it’s current name was adopted when upon study it was found that this variety begins to grow shortly after the dawn of the New Year.Fairies which bloom from this plant are known to be energetic, and curious with an enviable certain sparkle in their eyes.




Fairypod variety: Popcorn Thorn

Characteristics: The Popcorn Thorn plant earned its name from the lovely lumpy shape of it’s seed.
Plants of this variety are found in summer growing in farmer’s fields hidden beneath the tall stocks of corn. The fairies also make their homes there, only migrating to wooded areas after harvest time. Sub-varieties of the Popcorn Thorn include the Maize Thorn and Sweetcorn Thorn, the main difference between them being the colouring of their pods.
