evil fairy
Malevolent magical being
An evil fairy is a malevolent supernatural being from folklore and fantasy—a fairy that curses, deceives, or harms humans rather than helping them.
The figure appears throughout European tradition, from the uninvited guest at Sleeping Beauty's christening to changelings left in place of stolen children.
In modern usage, evil fairy describes anyone who seems to delight in subtle sabotage or spreading misfortune: Some evil fairy must have gotten into the code overnight.
