Template:Infobox Greyhawk creature Sea sprites are marine cousins of the more common sort of surface dwelling sprite found on Oerth.
Ecology
Sea sprites are omnivores occupying a niche at the top of the food chain in their native coral reefs.
Environment
Sea sprites are well adapted to life in Oerth's tropical oceans, dwelling in and around coral reefs and in warm, shallow waters (known sea sprite habitats include the Densac Gulf and the Tilva Strait, as well as other regions further to the south). Although as capable of breathing air as easily as they breathe water, sea sprites do not often leave their native habitat.
Typical physical characteristics
Sea sprites are somewhat similiar in size and appearance to other sprites, being humanlike beings of two feet or less in height. They have bright green hair (which is typically worn long) and pale complexions (sometimes with a bluish hue). Instead of the wings of flying sprites, sea sprites have webbed hands and feet. This adaptation helps them to swim very quickly,
