	'''Nixies''' are a species of aquatic [[fey]] originating from Germanic mythology, essentially freshwater-dwelling [[merfolk]] who could shapeshift into animals and who often lured mortals into the deep - to drown them in grimmer tales, or to keep them prisoner in their underwater lairs in more light-hearted ones. Similar creatures can be found in Scandinavian and English mythology as well, although the general idea of being river and lake faeries remains consistent.

	A nixie is a small, aquatic fey creature that makes its home in lakes, rivers, and ponds. They often serve as the de facto guardian of their watery homes. A casual glance might cause them to be confused for an elven child, thanks to their proportions and features (long pointy ears, narrow chins, small mouths and big eyes), but a closer look reveals their obvious inhuman traits. A nixie's skin is covered in very, very fine, green-tinted, fish-like scales, its hair resembles river weeds in its texture and greenish color, and its hands and feet are both heavily webbed - they more closely resemble a duck's foot or a fish's fin than a human appendage. Nixies normally stand about four feet tall and weigh around fifty pounds.		A nixie is a small, aquatic fey creature that makes its home in lakes, rivers, and ponds.

Nixies normally stand about four feet tall and weigh around fifty pounds.

	Nixies can dwell in any body of fresh water ranging from ponds and streams to mighty rivers and huge lakes. Their only preference is for their home to be relatively isolated from civilization. Even when far from other intelligent races, nixies still try to conceal their homes, going to great length to remain hidden. Nixies, while sometimes found alone, often dwell in tribes of up to eighty creatures, although only in the largest lakes and rivers. They prove tenacious guardians of their homes, normally using trickery and deceit to get rid of intruders, but are not above resorting to violence if such methods prove ineffective. They are also known to charm and enslave humanoids to be their guardians or to perform tasks that require greater strength.

	It's worth noting that while most nixies are shy, peaceful creatures, there are some types of nixie that are not. These nixies, commonly known as "bog nixies" for their preference for dwelling dismal fens and gloomy swamps, delight in luring land creatures to their aquatic home and drowning them. They lure their prey by using their incredible beauty, then watch them drown as they enter their underwater home. These nixies also possess the ability to change their form into that of any aquatic creature, and can even grant minor wishes - which, ironically, serve as a lure for the foolish, overly bold or desperate, and gives them a greater opportunity to work their mischief.
