Fayth
From Wikipedia we learn that In the world of Final Fantasy X, the Fayth are the souls of the people who willingly underwent a ritual that removed their souls from their still-living bodies and sealed into stone tablets.

Wood Spirits
Donga, Baira and Pukutak are examples of Wood spirits

Fiends represent the spirit's envy and resent the living, attacking most of the time. Fiends vary widely in appearance and skills. Most fiends belong to a particular elemental class: Fire, Ice, Water or Energy
