Overview[]
A fairy looks slightly different than any other versions from other stories and media. It has a slender humanoid body similar to a monkey with no clothing, pointy ears similar to elves, and wings resembling leaves rather than insect wings. The fairy does have a transformation of a stick bug. Three fairies are owned as pets by the Faun before two of them were eaten by the Pale Man. The eaten fairies were seen again along with their survived counterpart in the Underworld near the end of the film.

Notes[]
- The inclusion of the fairies are inspired by a mounted malaysian stick insect which Del Toro kept in his childhood.
- The fairies' insect forms were supposed to look like fictional phasmids.
- During the production of the film, the stick bugs which were used as references for the fairies' insect forms were named "Cheech" and "Chong", not before they passed away.
- Despite their sapience, they can be owned as pets, as stated above.
