"Pixies are a type of Redcap described as appearing as tiny, agile silhouettes formed from flickering shadows, or just as glimmering sparks, and with the personality of whimsical pranksters. They are the guardians of the dark corners of the forests, however, they are not creatures of evil energy or associated with shadow magic. Pixies protect places in forests so dense, that sunlight doesn't touch them, as well as the interiors of deep caves, abandoned ruins overgrown with vegetation, and even the interior of tree stumps. Often, Spriggan Earth Mothers make use of them as direct servants.
These creatures are part the Fae family, which includes other beings such as Nixads, Spriggans and Gorons, usually strongly connected to nature, which they fiercely protect, and in the specific case of Pixies, they are cataloged as Gnomes, a type of humanoid Fae linked to the earth, plants and fungi, belonging more specifically to the Redcap group, which generally includes some of the most aggressive Gnomes known to scholars. Pixies, however, have a personality that is usually more of a prankster than a bloodthirsty killer, nonetheless, an enraged group of Pixies is a force not to be underestimated, with their speed and numbers.
When inhabiting deserts, such as those in the province of Hammerfell, where the sun mercilessly punishes the burning sand dunes, and shadows are practically non-existent, Pixies are often restricted to small oases and abandoned ancestral ruins, such as tombs, hiding in the darkest corners to attack unsuspecting marauders. As they seem to be physically formed from the shadows of the place they inhabit, in sunny places they tend to lose their humanoid form, manifesting only as small black spheres of semi-transparent energy that emit small sparks. Redguards know them as Whilloki, and are considered to be trouble-causing creatures."

A former monster hunter, now a dedicated scholar, he is planned to be released as an NPC in late 2022/early 2023, doing the same job in-game as my descriptions do on Nexus.)
Technical info: Pixies appear in game exclusively when summoned in small groups by some Spriggan Earth Mothers, when the Spriggan loses half of her health in combat.
- 1 new creature- Pixie;
- more spawn points for Spriggan Earth Mothers.
So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.

Additional acknowledgments:
CD PROJEKT RED- the concept of this mod was inspired by the concept of Pixies from The Witcher 3, although this mod doesn't use neither models nor textures from the mentioned game, however, I used the original Pixies sounds from The Witcher 3 in my mod as sound effects for my Pixies;
Vicn- the shadow effects are not only inspired by Pixies from The Witcher 3, but also inspired by some of Vicn's creatures from Glenmoril mod, but his assets were also not used in this mod, being limited to inspiration.
