Nixie

Nixies are the largest of the sprites and live in lakes.

Appearance
Nixies have pale green skin with a few scales and dark green hair. They wear colourful seaweed.

Nixies are the largest sprite and are almost 3 times the height and 50 times the weight of a Grig.

Abilities
Nixies can instinctively manipulate the ether to control people or make them able to breath water.

They can also swim with surprising speed and are almost impossible to see while in the water.

Tools
Nixies, like fairies, do not use tools when they can avoid it.

Behaviour
Nixies make their homes in lakes have a deep dislike for leaving. They also share the dislike most sprites have of pitched battles and prefer to use their ability to control people on anyone who encroaches upon their territory.

However rather then immediately directing the person out of their territory the typically tricksy Nixies will use them for manual labour and heavy lifting for the duration of their control (about 24 hours) before escorting them to the edge of the Nixies territory.
