Nixels is the fifth episode in the first season of Mixels. It first aired on March 11, 2014.

Plot
Flain and Seismo create a lava slide at the Magma Wastelands, but when they are about to ride it, a Nixel comes in and tries to ruin their fun; and soon, a lot more of them invade as well. Flain suggests that he and Seismo Mix so they can repel the little creatures away, and so they do after retrieving their Cubit from them. After they defeat the Nixels, they upgrade their lava slide in the process; but a Nixel comes back to annoy them again. This time, Seismo stomps on it and gets it stuck on the bottom of his foot. He then leaves with Flain to try out their improved lava slide.

 * Flain seems to have two Cragster compadres. One is Krader (shown in Cookironi), and the other one is Seismo.

Continuity

 * This is the second appearance of the Nixels, although this time, they are properly introduced.
 * This is the fourth appearance of both Seismo and Flain.

Errors

 * When Flain & Seismo bashed into the Nixel with the Cubit, the Nixel's reaction (as shown in the image) looks very different and crudely made compared to the average Nixel face, instead looking like the far-shot underdetailed designs.


 * When Flain says "Don't think so!", the Nixel's eye clips through his bottom eyelid.


 * Both the Mix and at the end when Seismo steps on the Nixel, they have different leg patterns.
