__TOC__

==Origin==
Sylphid or Sylph is a word for an air elemental coined by Paracelsus in the sixteenth century. The word is not attested in ancient sources but a proposed origin is a portmanteau of the words Silvestris Nympha (Forest Spirit'), where Paracelsus used the former word sometimes in place of Sylph. Silvestris used alone appears in Virgil's Aeneid as a stand-in for Nympha Silvestris, which supports the idea that Paracelsus derived his word from it. The word has entered popular culture as a generic term for an air spirit.

==Appearances==
* The Sylph (シルフ) is a monster encountered in Xanadu on Level 10, it is classified as a [[Karma]] Monster, meaning that the player is penalized for killing them.
* In the first Eiyuu Densetsu game, Sylphie (シルフィ) is a boss encounter which can confuse male party members.
* In Ys VI the Sylphen Boots (シルフェンブーツ) are an accessory that prevents the Heaviness condition. They reappear in Ys Origin as footwear for Yunica.
* The Sylphen Boots reappear in Sora no Kiseki FC as the strongest footwear for female characters.
* In Ys VIII, Sylphid Kiss (シルフィードキス) is a Skill usable by Laxia.
* In Xanadu Next, Sylphide (シルフィーユ) is the first Guardian obtained by the protagonist.
* In Zwei, the Sylphs are a race of spirits with a hidden forest village (シルフの森) which must be visited.
* In the Sora no Kiseki trilogy, three Wind-elemental Arts are named after the sylphs; Sylphen Wing (シルフェンウィング) which raises MOV for a single target, Sylphen Guard (シルフェンガード) which raises AGL and starting in SC Sylpharion (シルファリオン) which raises MOV for multiple targets.
* Scherazard in the Sora no Kiseki trilogy has a Craft called Sylphen Whip (シルフェンウィップ) which creates blades of air to strike multiple opponents. This Craft was transplanted to Vantage Master Portable as her regular attack when she appeared as a guest Master.
* The Sylphid is a bowgun usable by Kevin in Sora no Kiseki SC which is said to fire projectiles at near the speed of sound.
* In Zero and Ao no Kiseki, Sylphid is a wide-area Wind-elemental Art that greatly raises MOV.
* In the Sen no Kiseki games, Fie Claussel earned the nickname Sylphid ({{Ruby-ja|西風の妖精|シルフィード}}) when she was a member of [[Zephyr]] and she retains a modified form of it after she becomes a Bracer.
* Fie's first S-Craft usable in Sen no Kiseki I and II is Sylphid Dance (シルフィードダンス).
* In Sen no Kiseki III, Fie's two gunswords are the Sylphie Edge (シルフィエッジ) and the Sylpharion. The former was localized as the '''Sylphid Edge'''.
* In Tokyo Xanadu, Kugayama Rion's Strong Skill is Sylphie Cyclone (シルフィサイクロン).

==Trivia==
* The kanji underlying Fie's jaeger title literally means 'Fairy of the West Wind', a reference to Zephyr representing the west wind. As a Bracer, her title drops the latter element of the kanji and simply uses 'Fairy' for the underlying text (({{Ruby-ja|妖精|シルフィード}})).
