The Pip fighter is a blue and white relative of the Conkuistador, giving the pint sized pixie a wintery theme.

Characteristics

Armed with a cracked sword and dented shield, these mini monsters have seen more battles than you'd first think. Even though they might not have won many. They wear a hero's band around their heads, almost mocking the classic look of a classic hero, dressed also in a leafy blue tunic for extra flexibility in battle. Their skills are such in battle that even their average attacks may easily miss the mark, leaving them ready for any kind of counter attack. They can surprisingly cast the wicked lightening spell, Kazap, to fry their foes. Unfortunately they lack the magical strength to cast it, so instead it just draws the thunder to their tiny swords, frying the poor pixie in the process.

Etymology

The pip fighter, along with its companions, are named after the mythological Korpokkur, a diminutive race of people in the folklore of the Ainu people of northern Japan. They were once said to live in harmony with the Ainu and would bring them deer, fish, and other goods, but after a schism, they disappeared. In fantastical depictions of the Korpokkurs, they are small enough to live underneath the leaves of the giant butterbur plant and would use its leaves as roofs and umbrellas.
