Fairy Pixie is a term that is applied to a small number of fairies species that have lost their wings and have taken up a means of existence that closely resembles that of pixies, namely living amongst the forest litter. It is believed that these False Pixies lost their wings when the particular flower they were adapted to living on became non-blooming and self fertilizing.
