❄️ Dust Sprite

The Dust Sprite is a small elemental monster in Stardew Valley, found in the icy levels of the Mines. These fast-moving creatures often spawn in swarms and will chase the player when aggroed. While individually weak, their speed and numbers can overwhelm unprepared players.

Dust Sprites are an important monster to hunt because they drop Coal, a vital crafting resource. They also count toward the Adventurer’s Guild Monster Eradication Goals.
