  Sprite (creature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sprite trap is a magical device used to capture troublesome or harmful spirits and ghosts.
During a ritual process, the copper wire is bound to the stave with red thread and the stave is marked with a Dag (or D) rune.
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.

Sprite comics are web comics that use video game sprites and backgrounds for their artwork.
Sprite comics are mainly used by creative people who cannot draw, or do not wish to draw, but want to express their creativity visually.
While the ease of creation (just slap some sprites made by someone else on a background, and add text bubbles) allows many low quality sprite comics to be made, there are many that show consistent high visual quality, both in use of custom sprites and graphic editing tools such as Photoshop.

 Sprite comic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sprite comics are webcomics that use computer sprites, often taken from video games, for significant portions of their artwork.
Sprite comics have become very popular in large part due to the ease of creating a sprite comic, since minimal artistic skill is required.
Sprites can easily be ripped from game ROMs using an emulator, or by using sprites from websites that collect sprites for public use.

 SA Pixel Tutorial
In the earlier NES days, sprites were alotted 4 colors to illustrate an enemy sprite, using the NES palette, which was complete crap.
As final fantasy 4 and 5 came along, Squaresoft had concentrated on evolving their technique to compact more detail into the same size sprites.
It is most likely that their sprites and even tiles were painted and scaled down, which would explain their intense definition, but there was alot of residual pixel work that had to go into those enemy sprites to really bring out the detail.

 PlayStation 2: The Final Fantasy Series - Final Fantasy Numerology - Article at Ps2Fantasy.com
Indeed, "Final Fantasy 11" is a complete and total lie; there are many more Final Fantasies than this (Or not, as the case may be - stay tuned for more of that in the later part of this feature).
The real Final Fantasy II charts the story of three friends, fleeing from their Kingdom which is under invasion by an Evil Empire (and is not "Cecil and Kain deliver a package to the Village of Summoners") and trying to locate their lost friend.
Anyone who knows Final Fantasy 5 will be familiar with the goings on of FF3 - the crystals of the world are shattering and the player characters are there to pick up the pieces, or rather, the wisdom and skills of the crystals.

 Ongoing Tales Fantasy Stories Dragon's Claw
To keep from spilling any of the juice he carried in the spoon the sprite flew slowly, so his small form was at first easy for the young girl to follow as it moved at a leisurely pace ahead of her.
The small sprite was, after all, flying through the air and didn't have to go over, around, or under fallen logs, rocks, and tree limbs as did the young princess.
Deciding that the sprite had been traveling in a straight line and was likely to continue to do so, Hope pressed on, expecting at any moment, to catch a glimpse of the sprite flying ahead of her in the distance.

 List of Final Fantasy II characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though female protagonists of the Final Fantasy series often develop a romantic relationship with a male hero, Maria seems to be void of a love interest, but she does dance with Firion at the Waltz part of the game, and she does have a good relationship with him.
While her sprite on the original release resembles what might be a female Fighter, her high intelligence and weak attack makes her more ideal for the Black Mage character class.
She is the namesake of the Final Fantasy IX non-player character, Hilda, the wife of Cid Fabool IX, and the owner of the Steaming Sheep Tavern in Final Fantasy XI, Hilda, whom Cid shares a close relationship with.

 WEB REVIEW: Arts on the Web -- Cartoons: Fun and Sprite-ly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Sprite comics are an entirely new art form, created directly for the venue of online comics.
Some sprite strips, like “Oldskooled” (), feature a host of characters from different 8-bit Nintendo games, but in general the strips which concentrate on a single game are more coherent and cohesive.
As well, the comic feels more ambitious than most other sprite comics because its comics are full-page rather than only four or five panels, and attractively put together, with extensive backgrounds to fill the sprites’ world.

The word sprite here does not refer to a mythical fairy creature, a popular soft drink from the fine people of Coca-Cola, or even the seldom used definition for a spayed ferret.
Sprite art can essentially be boiled down to sculpting a digital image one pixel at a time.

The major part is the Sprite dialogue editor, where you can assign text strings to specific sprites and even change the conditions for what they say, along with a few other goodies.
It's always a good practice anyway, but the sprite dialog editor has only been tested for basic functionality and there could be bugs in it.
Sprite Dialog Editor: I recommend against changing the dialog handler for any sprites to use the game's plot dialog handlers.

So Timon run away!" the young sprite said, lifting up off the log as though his story were finished.

For those of you who are not ROM literate, sprites are non-background, typically moving objects in video games.
My alternate theory is that we all played it at the same time in a dark, secluded room at the end of our high school careers, then ritualistically beat our heads with rusty shovels in an (apparently successful) attempt to forget the affair.
I came up with this theory as I viewed these sprites for the first time (or was it?) because of the odd tingling sensation in the back of my head.
