I just found my favorite pet.The little Sylvan Nixad! She quietly chats along the way in the most adorable way. She flies so I dont feel I always have to wait for her and she also doesnt make me feel I have to keep her safe.
What's your favorite pet?

✭✭✭✭✭I really like them, they have many unique animations, and I want lore on them. I have many questions.
For example, are they intelligent? Like, are they closer to an animal, or to a person? Maybe they are like goblins on that regard?
Can they understand Tamrielic language?
Are they magically inclined? They seem to be found around alchemy and enchanting ingredients, and also near skyshards and minotaur camps. If so, do their colors have anything to do with that? I noticed I find blue ones near skyshards and nirnroot and purple ones near other alchemy ingredients.
They drop mats like trait stones and alchemy ingredients. Do they carry them around for some reason? Do they collect stuff that has magical proprieties? If so, why? Can they use it somehow, or they just like to be around magical stuff?
Either way, they are awesome little buggers. I am waiting patiently for the purple one.Edited by Abeille on June 2, 2016 2:57PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Story_of_Princess_Eselde
Thanks! I found a book inside the Cathedral of Akatosh (only accessible during a quest) about a Khajiit who had her camp attacked by a swarm of Nixads in the middle of the night. I'm afraid the book wasn't put online yet, or I couldn't find it. Anyway, they are really mischievous (which we can see by how the wild ones laugh at us all the time), love moonsugar to death (will literally eat it until they die if they get a chance) and hate coffee.
I also found a small poem about them inside the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary, but being part of a collection of poems who seem to have been made to scare young children, I don't know if it is accurate. It seems to be a common belief among children that they eat the eyes of children who misbehave. There is also a letter in that place where the last step of the quest "The Sweetroll Killer" that confirms that belief.
That's all I could find in game about them.I really like them, they have many unique animations, and I want lore on them. I have many questions.

On PTS, the wild ones would avoid your attacks for 10 entire seconds, doing back flips in the air while laughing at your face. They changed it to two seconds, so it isn't as funny anymore
