Dust Sprites are an enemy found in The Mines, from levels 40-79, in the frozen part of the mines. They are small creatures which often travel in packs. Dust Sprites are a great source of coal, as it is one of their most common drops. You need to kill 500 Dust Sprites for Monster Eradication Goals.
Behavior
Dust Sprites bounce in place and chirp while inactive. If they spot the player, dust sprites will bound after them, causing damage upon collision.
Strategy
Simply hit them. Cornering them against a wall will keep them from being knocked out of your melee range with repeated swinging. Because of their bouncy behaviour, it's easy for them to be closer than you expect.
Design
The Dust Sprites are thought to be a reference to the Soot Sprites from Studio Ghibli's animated films - Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.
