pixie

Blink and you'll miss them, pixies are tiny insectoid faerie folk known for their dedication to the cultivation of herbs, plants, fungi, and trees. Pixies are also very orderly, living in great hidden cities in the cores of tree trunks, similar to beehives or even adjacent to them. In fact, pixies and bees work together, planting and feeding and pollinating with a kind of efficiency that any tycoon would be jealous of.

vulnerabilities

Pixies are repelled by cinnamon, avoiding the spicy smell that disorients their senses.

social

Pixies are mischievous little buggers who can be quite curious and even friendly. They enjoy pranks and games, and delight in buzzy gossip. Despite this, most are very dutiful and spend much of their time helping pollinate flowers and keeping order in nature. They dislike entitled folk who explore where they shouldn't, and careless travelers who trample flowers, pee in bushes, and litter the wilderness with trash. When angered, they are known to become militant and organized, mustering great numbers against their enemies with bee-like fervor and tenacity.

combat

Every pixie fight is approached as if it were an all-out war against an enemy nation. It starts with dozens of pixies, but before long there are hundreds, by nightfall, thousands. Supply lines, command posts, and other massive operations spring up immediately. Pixies can, however, be distracted by disorder or damage to the environment, preferring to postpone the war effort to clean up a mess or tend to damaged plant life.

defeat

Pixies coordinate their retreats to hidden colonies, or in extreme instances, begin a migration to another area to keep their people safe. If their queen is threatened, they negotiate earnestly to keep her from harm.

victory

Pixies demand terms for surrender, which usually sound like edicts and orders from a ruling government. Should they be ignored, this could incur their wrath. Pixies chase and hunt down transgressors in their territory.
