A tiny winged humanoid with shifting colors which performs intricate aerial dances in large groups.

Pixies are a very common type of fanciful above-ground vermin that live in good areas. They drift in the air in faintly glowing, colorful groups, dancing intricately. (Repetitive music and recreational pixie dust use are likely involved.) They, alongside fairies, are the only intelligent vermin in the game, though they can't be interacted with on the basis of being vermin. When encountered in adventure mode, they will glow in the dark (or should, if not for their fairy associates' identical technical issue). While they possess a pet value of 10, they can't be captured with animal traps.

Though pixies are winged, their wings are not currently simulated in the game. This does not impede their ability to fly. A comment in their raws implies Toady plans to eventually simulate lacy wings on pixies.

While a token in their creature raws should enable swarms of these creatures to generate light, they cannot, as they lack the necessary graphical tokens and sprite creature graphics to do so.

Some dwarves like pixies for their shifting colors and their intricate aerial dances.
