Teebo's lucksprite
The Ewok Teebo sought the assistance of a lucksprite (a specific one) to aid Wicket Wystri Warrick in successfully completing his warrior skills assessment to become a warrior. This lucksprite, however, concealed its true nature as a bad lucksprite, actively sabotaging Warrick's efforts. This caused Warrick to become disheartened. His friends—Teebo, Latara, and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka—demanded the lucksprite confess its deception. An arachnid creature then emerged, and the lucksprite exploited the chaos to cause further problems. Ultimately, Teebo incapacitated the creature by covering its head with its hat, allowing Warrick to defeat it. This defeat deeply affected the lucksprite, leading to its own despondency as it experienced failure for the first time.
Biography
Sometime in 3 ABY or before, the Ewok Teebo made a request of this lucksprite: to lend its lucky influence to Wicket Wystri Warrick, who was endeavoring to pass his warrior's test to become a warrior. The lucksprite went with Teebo to Bright Tree Village, where it assisted Warrick in achieving three bullseyes with his arrows, even splitting the tree supporting the target.
However, the lucksprite was actually hiding its true identity: it was, in reality, a bad lucksprite. When Warrick undertook his warrior's evaluation, the lucksprite unleashed a wave of negative energy upon him. Consequently, Warrick's pole broke during a vaulting attempt, he mistakenly grabbed a prickly creature instead of a doll, and he tumbled onto a log, which then rolled into the judges' platform, causing it to collapse. Chirpa, the village chief, deemed Warrick suitable only for cleaning the bordok stables. As Warrick sank into despair, the lucksprite confessed its true nature to his friends, Teebo, Latara, and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, before making its escape.
Teebo soon located the lucksprite and compelled it to admit its interference to Warrick, who was sulking in the Cavern of Broken Dreams. While Kneesaa attempted to rouse Warrick from his despondency, an arachnid creature launched an attack on her, presenting the lucksprite with another opportunity to create chaos. The sprite caused Kneesaa to drop her lasso, leading her to fall into the arachnid's web, which spanned a deep canyon. The lucksprite evaded an assault by Teebo and Latara. It then observed Wicket W. Warrick emerging from the cavern and attempting to rescue Kneesaa by carrying her on his shoulders across a rope. However, the lucksprite zapped the rope, forcing the Ewoks to swing to safety on the canyon wall. Before the lucksprite could strike again, Teebo pulled its hat over its head, halting its mischief. The Ewoks then succeeded in defeating the arachnid.
Witnessing its efforts to bring bad luck thwarted, the lucksprite burst into tears of despair. This marked the first instance of an Ewok warrior successfully countering its luck-altering abilities. The sprite even contemplated abandoning its profession. Wicket W. Warrick proposed a new role for it: cleaning the bordok stables.
