Doxy

The Doxy, sometimes referred to as the Biting Fairy, is a small Fairy-like creature, sometimes mistaken for a Fairy.

The Doxy is covered in thick black hair, and has an additional sets of arms and legs. Doxies have shiny beetle-like wings, and a double row of sharp venomous teeth. If bitten, a wizard or witch should take an antidote immediately. Doxies bury their eggs underground, and can lay up to five hundred at once. The eggs generally hatch in two to three weeks. Preferring cold climates, the Doxy is found throughout Europe and North America. Doxies are considered pests. They can infest houses, taking up residence in the draperies. Removing them requires a good supply of Doxycide.
