A sprite trap is a magical device used to capture troublesome or harmful spirits and ghosts.
Sprite traps are used at night, when the trap is set at the entrance to a home, church, graveyard, or other location where disturbances are taking place.
After the sprite trap has captured a spirit, it is removed from the location and the red thread is cut with a consecrated knife; the thread is then placed into a prepared witch bottle.

The sprite comes to earth, looks lovingly at the stolen uvula and eats it, and is promptly devoured by a crow.
As bits of the sprite fall to the ground, one of its eyes is apprehended up by a battered old cloth doll, which turns into a gnarly-toothed, predator, enabling it to attack and eat the crow.
Meanwhile an egg is eaten then regurgitated by a snake, and cracks open to reveal another sprite, who just has time to wonder at the miracle of life before it too is attacked by a crow, and the life cycle moves on.

A goblin is an evil or merely mischievous creature of folklore, often described as a grotesquely disfigured or elf-like phantom.
This is partially due to the fact that, by being supernatural and chaotic entities, they are difficult to pin down as being anything in particular and partially due to the fact that humans have yet to answer completely what constitutes the racial ethos of humanity.
Consequently, faerie runs amok with creatures that are completely unrelated save that they are mythologic in origin.

 Fun with Java: Sprite Animation, Part 7
The third program combines sprite animation, frame animation, and some other techniques to convert the spherical sea creatures into sea worms that slither through the water and change their colors in the process.
For example, if the sprite is moving toward the top of the screen (negative Y direction) and collides with the inside edge of the banner, the sign on the y-component of the motion vector will be changed to positive so that the sprite will move down the screen on the next call to positionUpdate.
The end result is a set of fifteen spherical sea creatures (sprites) swimming around in a fish tank against a background captured from a photograph that I took while on a recent trip to the aquarium in Monterey, CA.

From what I understand, the "sprites" they are referring to are cut and pasted from screenshots of videogames.
In my experience, the word "sprite" applies only to soft drinks and bitmaps in video games, so from a technical perspective that would exclude DS, Green Skull and other computer-generated comics where the art is original to the strip.
And I think "sprite" comes from traditional animation, that got moved to cover early video games since that's the only type of animation they were doing.

This creature is capable of performing any actions that it would like, however, the security model will stop the creature from doing any destructive to the machine.
Since each creature is a small piece of code, developers are able to quickly push out creatures with new and modified behaviors allowing us to test many different code paths.
Since each creature is developed by an unknown developer the code access security is able to be tested in great detail as well, thus preventing malicious animals from being introduced that might otherwise harm the machine.
