Pixie

Not to be confused with Fairies, or Pixie Dust

The Pixie is a Hardmode enemy that spawns frequently in The Hallow at the surface layer. Pixies hover a limited height over ground, emitting a fair amount of flickering light, and can inflict the Slow or Silenced debuffs. They always drop Pixie Dust, a common Hardmode crafting material.

Trivia

 * The Fairy Bell summons a Fairy which looks similar to a Pixie, and serves as a light source to players.
 * The Pixie's design is a nod to a fairy design from the fantasy action-adventure video game franchise , in which some fairies are spheres of colored light with wings.
 * In some older versions, Pixie sound effects, along with a few others, would become distorted under certain conditions.
 * The sound the Pixie makes can sometimes still be heard a few seconds after it is killed.
 * If the surface of the Hallow does not spawn in a world (such as if the Jungle already occupies that space), it may be necessary to farm Pixie drops in another world.
