Ok, Hit me.
>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_.

Like 'NOBLIS'? Hmm, an elven relation! Intresting, are they as stuck up?
(Don't hurt me...) Also, define 'short-term' flight. (I know it was made
up on the spot, Don't worry...)
>HABITAT:

Kinda like Harpies? Or is it specific to the resident?
>HABITS:
>Pixies are active both night and day, but seem to prefer the daytime and

>YOUNG:

This one is a dual. First, do pregnant mothers 'fly'? And do they care
for the young? (I'm kinda poking fun here, but it's a serious question.
Weight can really hinder flying...)

Again, intresting. But I'm not an expert. I'm just adding my (Umm,
lemmesee...) .005 cents. (After taxes)
