Ouphes are small humanoid creatures. They are often associated with the natural world, and are related to faeries. All ouphes tend to be small in stature (about the size of a dwarf or kithkin) with pointed ears, but otherwise vary widely in appearance, including the human-like brownies and pyknites, the twisted Phyrexian gremlins, and the animalistic brown ouphes.

Most ouphes are asocial, and many are hostile toward artifice. They have a reputation for being extremely annoying.

Ouphes inhabit numerous different planes, including Dominaria (where they thrived during the Ice Age), Shadowmoor, Mirrodin, and Phyrexia.

[edit] Origins

"Ouphe" is an old Germanic word, possibly Old English or Icelandic, meaning "elf child" or "one left by the fairies." [1]
