The tallest common D &D fey are usually the larger eladrin/fey nobility types, which are often depicted around human height or a bit taller, and some can reach roughly 10 feet in certain lore interpretations. Among the more widely recognized fey, hags and other powerful Feywild beings are typically larger than sprites, pixies, or fairies, which are much smaller.

Tallest common picks

  • Eladrin / high fey courts : often around 5 to 7 feet tall, with some lore examples much taller.
  • Hags : commonly taller and bulkier than typical humanoid-sized fey, though they vary a lot by type.
  • Other Feywild nobles or guardians : can be depicted as well over human height in some settings, including the 10-foot-range example cited in one guide.

Shorter common fey

  • Pixies and sprites : tiny to very small.
  • Fairies : often small, generally only a few feet tall in many D&D discussions and home interpretations.
  • Glamer/forest trickster fey : usually not especially tall compared with elves or humans.

Practical answer

If you mean “which common fey are tallest in everyday D&D use,” the safest answer is eladrin-style fey and hags ; if you mean “largest fey overall,” then high Feywild entities can be much taller than standard player- character fey.

TL;DR Tallest common fey are usually **eladrin/high fey** and **hags**; tiny fey like pixies and sprites are far shorter.[2][6][1]
