PIXIE
Homo sapiens avianis


IDENTIFICATION:

The height if the typical pixie is 1.0 meters and weight is 24 kilograms.
Coloration is typically tan to white, although some instances of darker
shades are reported. Females have 2 mammae and all pixies have 32 teeth.
Bone structure and features appear in many ways to be similiar to _noblis_.
_Avianis_ has a pair of wings anchored between the shoulder blades and is
typically capable of short-term flight. Pixie body hair is sparse, but
head hair is abundant. Typical pixie custom is to wear the hair in long,
braided strands, often adorned with beads. Eyes are similiar to _nobilis_
in fuction and shape and are sensitive enough to grant vision in low-light
settings. Ears come to a definite point.

HABITAT:
In urban areas, pixies inhabit standard human structures, although they
are often designed with the small size of the occupants in mind. In the
wilderness, _avianis_ has been known to inhabit structures built into trees
or cliffs, although ground dwellings are not uncommon.

HABITS:
Pixies are active both night and day, but seem to prefer the daytime and
early night. Their diet is vegitarian. They tend to live in large groups
of an extended family. Pixie life-expectancy is unverified, but is
estimated at 60 to 80 years. Preeding season is unrestricted. Gestation
is 136 days.

YOUNG:
Usually two, although triplets are not uncommon. Larger births are very
rare. Birthweight is 5.4 percent of the mother's weight. Suckling time
is six months.
