Pixie enemy line

The Pixie, Faery, and Weird Nymph are enemies that are randomly battled in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling the tiny female humans with wings faeries are stereotypically depicted as, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought at different locations in the games. Note that all three named variants in this line make appearances in the Pixie Psynergy set in The Lost Age.

Pixie
A Pixie is a blue level 18 variant with green hair and red eyes. Pixies are only encountered throughout Kibombo Mountains.

The Pixie is particularly noteworthy among the monsters fought in its area because of its agility; it is much faster than anything else in the area, which is counterbalanced by it having the lowest HP rating by a pretty wide margin (less than the Dirge). Being fast often equates to being a more damage-dealing monster in general, since the Pixie will get in its hits before the party can whack it aside, unlike a lot of battles where the party might be fast enough to defeat the entire opposing party before they execute an attack of their own.

Faery
A Faery is a red level 23 variant with green hair and blue eyes. Faeries are fought throughout Taopo Swamp and Aqua Rock.

Like the Pixie, the Faery is noticeably much faster but less durable than any other monster fought in either area it is also fought in, which for the most part gives it more realized damage potential than a lot of monsters in the game, particularly if it uses Tornado. Of course, there are monsters that would take much more attacking to take down, such as the Roc and Sea Dragon... The Faery seems to give good amounts of EXP and Coins, but technically the aforementioned two monsters give even more. It should be noted that you will always get a nut for felling a Faery with the attack of a Jupiter Djinni.

Weird Nypmh

 * Weird Nypmh redirects here. For the Psynergy, see Pixie Psynergy set.

Like with all other enemy lines introduced in The Lost Age that seem to have only two variants, a third palette-swapped variant to this line exists in the code of the game cart and was even given its own name, but has none of its statistics and abilities coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used it would have appeared as a green variant with purple hair and red eyes named Weird Nypmh (note the apparent misspelling, which is how it is in the game code).

Interestingly enough, however, in The Lost Age the appearance and identity of this "unused" monster is featured as the visual for the Weird Nymph Psynergy held by the Beast Lord class, and its name is properly spelled as "Weird Nymph". The Weird Nymph was then "officially introduced" as a random monster in Dark Dawn.

Pixie
A Pixie is a level 10 blue variant with yellow hair. Pixies are fought in the Ei-Jei region near Harapa. They also appear on the surface of Ayuthay and Passaj Mountain Climb before the Grave Eclipse.

Everywhere it is fought, the Pixie is the fastest but least durable enemy, although it's Agility rating is only half of what it was in The Lost Age, so there is less of a chance that it will get to attack before the party can down it. In Passaj Mountain Climb, it is possible to encounter groups of up to five Pixies in battle.

Faery
A Faery is a level 18 red variant with green hair. Faeries are encountered in the Craggy Peak Ruins.

Unlike the other variants in this enemy line, the Faery is not the fastest of the enemies where it's encountered; instead the stronger Dirge is the area's fastest enemy. If players obtained the Zol Ring prior to leaving Passaj, they can equip it to a party member with strong Jupiter Psynergy and use them to easily dispatch Faeries.

Weird Nymph
A Weird Nymph is a level 38 purple variant with violet hair. Weird Nymphs are fought in the caves of Gaia Falls Islet and the surrounding overworld; as well as on the overworld of Burning Island.
