Mites are not a race unto themselves, but are are grotesque, spiritually poisoned sprites consumed with baleful vice and malevolent compulsions. These creatures hate the light and seek to dwell in dark, underground sewers and dungeons, where they can be near those they wish to hurt. They hate other sprites as well as themselves. Their minds have been twisted with malignance and a desire to perpetrate cruelty, while having little love for existence; a sprite would rather die causing pain to another than to preserve its own life ... though it does desire to cause the most pain possible before shuffling off its coil.
Origin
It is legend that sprites seek to rid the world of evil persons, which relies upon their ability to distinguish evil from good. On occasion, a small group of sprites will error in this racial quest — and though they will seek to make amends, the knowledge of their error will prey upon their conscience. Further chance errors will set these sprites upon the road to corruption. As they begin to hate themselves, they brood, transforming themselves as a group, day by day, into mites. These new mites will separate from their own kind and form a "nest" ... where their malevolence will grow. In a year or two, they will begin to see the evil in every creature, just as they see it in their own hearts, and begin to hate every thinking creature, everywhere.
Sprites know of this danger, and see to protect themselves from it; more than anyone, they will seek to find mite lairs and bring peace to their lost brethren — though this can be managed only by death. There have been many small wars fought in tiny underground realms between mites and sprites, and the latter do not always triumph.
