A pixie (also spelled pixy, pixi, pizkie, piskie, or pigsie in Cornwall) is a legendary creature from British mythology. Pixies are said to be especially prevalent in the high moorland areas of Devon and Cornwall, implying a Celtic foundation for the concept and name. They are also found in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Pixies are small, human-like creatures with feathers instead of hair, wings, a pointed nose, large eyes and a beak-like mouth. They usually have legs, but some descriptions say they are legless. They can be blue, green or red in color. Some describe them as cute while others find them frightening. Pixies are known for their mischievous behavior and love of mischief. They are often seen doing odd jobs for people, such as tidying up their gardens or carrying messages. This behavior makes them unpopular with many farmers who need their land kept clean for farming purposes. Farmers will sometimes call out to pixies to try and get them to leave, but this only encourages them to come down off of their land and play somewhere else. It is believed that if you ask a pixie three times then it will agree to do something for you. However, it might not keep its word and could change its mind at any time.
