Nixels (creature)


 * Were you looking for the episode of the same name?

Nixels are the dark, uncreative, uncool enemies of the colorful, creative, cool Mixels and the primary antagonists of the Mixels franchise. They are led by Major Nixel and reside in the Nixels Land.

Personality
Nixels are small and seemingly harmless; but they are actually vicious, annoying, crazy and destructive creatures who are spread all over the land of the Mixels. They live to tear down and break apart the world around them, including any combinations that the Mixels create. There is nothing the Nixels hate more than when two or three Mixels combine together and get super powers. The Nixels have made it their mission in life to put and end to such crazy creativity all together. And the only way to do this is to hide and destroy the Cubits which enable the Mixels to combine in the first place. When they swarm together, they can break apart a Mixel in seconds.

They consider themselves far superior to the Mixels, but are only able to say "Nixels", "Nix", "Mixels", or "Mix", blow raspberries, whistle, laugh, sputter, yell, inhale, exhale, and scream.

Physical Appearance
Nixels, are very, very small. So small in fact that they can be easily crushed by Seismo's large feet. They have little ears, arms, and legs. Their bodies are mostly black, with the exception of their circular, angry white faces. It's possible that the black outer shell of a Nixel is like armor since it's shown that they can pop right out and run around without it. It is unknown how they control the hands in the armor, as they have no hands when outside of it. Their arms are also retractable, as demonstrated in Nixel "Mix Over".

However, there is a member that is an oddity to this rule. He is Muscle Nixel, and is about the size of Major Nixel and is very buff.

Set Information
There are three different variants each, in 2014 and 2015, of Nixels in the LEGO sets, and one set for each Mixel tribe includes a Nixel. They come with Vulk, Krader, Teslo, Slumbo, Chomly, Balk, Glurt, Hoogi, Magnifo, Rokit, Flamzer, Vampos, Slusho and Berp.

They are also included as small builds inside the front covers of the books Flane's Adventure, Activity Book, and Mixels Vs Nixels!

Trivia

 * In Calling All Mixels, they are the main and only enemies that will attack your base at times.
 * It is shown in Wrong Colors when they thought an ice sculpture was Major Nixel that they are not very bright.
 * It is theorized that each of the three variations of the Nixel's armor represents a rank in the Nixel swarm.
 * Originally, the Nixels were going to be various shapes, and not all of them being cube-esque.
 * A reoccurring motif of the Nixels is a white circle with a Nixel hand giving a thumbs-down sign in it. It decorates Nixel Land and is the symbol on their flag, Muscle Nixel's belt, and Major Nixel's staff in Calling All Mixels.
 * Their gender was only mentioned in Calling All Mixels.
 * Despite it being said that there are hundreds of Nixels in the Swarm, there have only been less than two hundred seen in the show. Most of the time, it looks like there are less than fifty Nixels.
 * Their screams are very high pitched.
 * In the LEGO Mixels: Activity Book and a LEGO Club Magazine, Nixels are seen with incredible speech, as they do not say "NIX!". Instead, they speak full English. However, this is possibly only for the convenience of the reader, so they understand what is going on.
 * The square-topped Nixels are the most common variety and are the only variations of Nixels in Calling All Mixels.
 * In long-distance shots, the design of the Nixels becomes oversimplified to the point that they end up lacking arms and their eyes only become black dots. They are the only characters to have specific long-distance model designs.
