Nixies in Mythology
The nixie (also known as neck or nix) of English and German mythology is not nearly as benevolent as those presented here. In their traditional folktales they are often depicted as beautiful creatures that lure people into the water to drown. These more malevolent nixies could change shape, becoming any number of aquatic forms. To replicate these stories of more sinister nixies, add the following abilities to the standard nixie. A nixie with these abilities is CR 2. Lure (Su)This ability functions just like a harpy’s captivating song. A DC 15 Will save negates this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. Shapeshift (Su)A nixie can change shape to become any Small or Medium aquatic creature as if using beast shape I (CL 5th). A nixie can maintain this form indefinitely and can return to its normal shape as a free action. |
