Overview

The official fact file places the Cornish pixie in Cornwall and the wider southwest of England. It is electric blue and grows to around eight inches.

Though wingless, it can fly, and it is strong enough to hoist a person aloft by the ears. Its mischief includes leaving people stranded where they cannot get down; Neville is named as one victim.

The Ministry classification given is XXX. Diet, lifespan and ecology are not covered by the selected reference.
