Tungster

"Imagination at 12 o'clock!"

- Jinky

Tungster is a Lixer Mixel.

Personality
This odd-looking member of the Lixers tribe can soar majestically into the sky with those flapping wings - or lick up nasty Nixels with his long tongue. Either way, it’s guaranteed to get a little weird.

Physical Appearance
Tungster is mostly yellow in color. His body and head are one cone-like shape. He has a larger upper jaw that extends outwards with seven teeth pointing downwards, the outer four teeth being larger. He has a rounded section on his head with two spikes, along with two orange cat-like ears. He has two orange wings on the top of his body as well. His arms are short, with a single claw on each that starts out yellow and changes to white at the tips. He has a large and thick red tongue. His legs are short, grey, and bowed. He has tall feet with an orange toe on each.

Ability
Tungster can fly high up in the air to lick up Nixels. He can also use his tongue like a vine to travel through the trees.

First adventures
Tungster was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")

When the Klinkers first showed up in Lixer Land, the Lixers found the Klinkers and Tungster swooped in to lick them. Gox was disturbed and wanted to Max; but instead of Maxing, the Klinkers Murped. Shortly after, Tungster joined the other Mixels in their quest to find the Mixamajig. After they found it, he and all of the other Mixels were captured in a big bag which was a trap of King Nixel. In order to stop him, every Mixel of their tribe had to Max, but after King Nixel amalgamated with the Nixels, they had to create a big Max together. The Max defeated King Nixel, and after that Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")
