Nix is one of the sub-types of the Beast seeming - a culture-themed kith of river mermaids. Their blessing is Consumptive Voice.
Overview[]
The nix, or nixie, is a river mermaid from Germanic lore. One often possesses the features of a snake and a fish in some amalgamation (fish eyes, snake fangs, skin spotted with reptile scales and shark cartilage). Some legends posit that the nix are truly beautiful, while other tales suggest that the nix are actually quite hideous to behold, but possess golden voices.
In the old tales, the nix would confound fishermen with beautiful voices, causing them confusion and leading their boats astray — often right into the rocks.
