Mixels (creature)

Mixels are a type of creature; the main protagonists in the Mixels franchise.

Each Mixel is assigned an element which are divided into tribes: ice, electricity, rock, fire, and more. They live in the Mixel Land. Their enemies are the Nixels, dark and uncreative creatures who want to ruin the fun in Mixel Land.

General Structure
Judging from their structure, Mixels seem to be cyborgs, as they are overall organic, but have robotic skin.

Hearts
Mixels are known to have hearts, or at least rumored to have them, as mentioned from Footi in Murp Romp.

Tongues
Mixels have organic tongues. However, some of their tongues come in different colors than normal ones, like Mesmo's purple one, Globert's turquoise one, or Glurt's black one. Some Mixels have bigger tongues than others', such as Glurt, Jawg, and Gobba.

Teeth
Mixels have organic teeth. They can break like human teeth, as Chomly had to replace one of his with a gold one due to chipping, and Krader's teeth were shown breaking in Cookironi, but this was purely for humor. A Mixel's teeth can be uneven, sharp, buck-toothed, peg-shaped, small, large, and in some cases, shaped like a human's.

Buttocks
Mixels have buttocks. This is shown in Hot Lava Shower when Krader's butt becomes visible from a burn.

They also go to the bathroom, also proven by Krader, which means that they have digestive systems. Also, a jug of what appears to be lemonade can be seen on the table Zaptor was standing next to in Epic Comedy Adventure, making it likely that they have organs to urinate out of.

Skin
Mixels, while organic, seem to have robotic skin. This is known because of Teslo's Volt-o-Meter, jetpacks and gears seen on some Mixels, and their skin constantly being shown to be shiny, especially in artwork. Despite this however it's still as flexible as normal skin.

Blood
Mixels are known to have blood, as Kraw's eye was bloodshot in Epic Comedy Adventure.

Feelings
As shown in clips in Calling All Mixels, Mixels do have feelings, and are shown to be happy or upset. Mixels have also been seen showing feelings in the cartoon. Each Mixel has their own personality as well.

Another example of Mixels being sad is Mailman, when Shuff cried after throwing the Teddy Butterfly at the ground. And Krader cried in Murp, due to not being able to cross the river to get to the party.

It is highly likely that Mixels can feel pain; in Cookironi, Vulk screams when he was zapped by the lightning rod of Zaptor, or when the Flain/Krader Murp accidentally engulfed itself in flames, as it was screaming in, most likely, pain. Also, in the episode Rockball, after being crushed by the rock, Shuff reacts in pain after he pulls the rock off. Another example is when the Glomp/Hoogi Mix slammed into the advertisement sign for the Wiztastics show in Murp Romp the two unmixed and appeared to be in pain.

Illness
As shown in the story Glomp's Gooey, Sneezy Cold!, Mixels have the ability to contract illnesses, such as bad colds. Glomp is also stopped up with a milder constant cold at all times, while Lunk suffers from allergies.

Traits
Mixels can be all different shapes, sizes, colors, and more. Some are based on animals, some have one eye, and some are just completely original designs. Like humans, they use teamwork to accomplish anything. They are big or small, cute and crazy creatures.

Powers
The Mixels can combine with one another in creative and unpredictable storylines.

The Mixels have the power to Mix, Max, and Murp. When they mix, they combine two Mixels to gain new powers. Max means to combine all three Mixels from one tribe to make a giant Mixel. Murp is when something totally weird comes out of the mixing, with an all-new personality that cannot be controlled. They can do this by using objects called the Cubits.

However, Mixels still have some powers without Mixing. For instance, Zorch can run extremely fast with his flame boosters, and Flurr can breathe ice.

Known Mixels
There are at least thirty-six members of the Mixels species, with twelve different known tribes overall.

Infernites
Fiery and short-tempered, but handy for a barbecue, the red-hot Infernites dwell in the magma wastelands near the Mixel lands' core. They are two different shades of red in color.

Trivia

 * They love to combine anything they find in their land and also enjoy gaining new powers.
 * The Series 3 Mixels use a lot more black on their bodies in comparison to the Series 1 and 2 Mixels.
 * In Calling All Mixels, all of the tribes are lost and have to be reunited by Flain.
 * When asked about the Mixels, Rob Sorcher stated “What I love about the show is that we knew we had these great characters with fantastic combination possibilities, but we didn’t know what they would do, what they would sound like,” says Sorcher. “What really amuses me now is how these stories are playing visually. Both David and John are not really verbal guys, so they came up with this hilarious caveman-type language for them. They use basic words and telegraph their sentences. They grunt things like, ‘Taste good. Me go there!’ Of course, we also hired great voice actors like Tom Kenny, but the whole caveman-type language of the Mixels really makes me laugh.”
 * The LEGO models were designed before the animated ones.
 * In the Mixed Up Special, all of the Mixels (excluding the Series 1-2 tribe leaders and Series 3) temporarily turn into Nixels (zombified versions of themselves) through the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer.
 * All of the tribes have Mixels with unique limbs. Examples include Vulk's hands, Zaptor's lightning rod, Krader's arm, Jawg's fangs, Slumbo's ice-claws, Footi's feet, Wizwuz's hook, Glomp's nose, Niksput's wings, Boogly's insectoid arms, and Meltus' nose-flamethrower. The Flexers are an exception, as they all have tentacles.
 * All Mixels have names that are puns of or derived from words that fit their personalities and appearances (such as Flain being a pun of "flame" and "brain", fitting both his smart nature and his fire element).
 * Of all the Mixels, Krader, Vulk and Volectro all so far have had the most appearances, with 11 appearances each.
 * The Series 1 and Series 2 tribes' theme elements were opposite counterparts of each other (Infernite's fire and Frosticon's ice, Electroid's electricity and Flexer's rubber, and Cragster's rock and Fang Gang's plant matter).
