Nixies are one of the larger Little People, the largest being around eighteen inches and weighing ten pounds in frog form. They start their adult lives as thin light green humanoids, about ten inches tall. Nixies are hermathropic. As they grow older, they become taller and fatter, but remain capable of astounding leaps. Nixies live in the ponds in which the Amphibious Faeries breed and leave their eggs, but the instinct is more territorial than parental. Young Nixies are quick tempered and jumpy, but as they grow older, they mellow out and gain a Buddha like calm (and physique). Nixies usually live one or two to an average pond, but as many as ten have been found living together in small lakes. Nixies communicate, both with their pond mates and with other ponds by Singing at night, which is quite loud. Nixies eat  fish, when they care to, though like all Faeries they have no need of daily sustanance. They make no active efforts to care for their young, and larger Nixies have been known to eat Tadpoles.
