CHIX

Private Chix Verbil is an amorous sprite who first appears in the latter pages of Artemis Fowl, the first book of the series by the same name written by Eoin Colfer. Chix, like all sprites, has wings, green skin, and loves to fly. He appears to be a comrade of Mulch Diggums, the kleptomaniac dwarf.

In Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, he shows himself to be an amateur Don Juan, and hits most unsuccessfully on Captain Holly Short while on a routine surveillance shift on E27, a closed Parisian pressure elevator. During the mission, he was hit in the wing by B'wa Kell sniper fire. : Rock Chix :. A fist-sized hole was punched in his wing, which he could not heal with his limited sprite magic.

Holly healed this life-threatening wound (after single-handedly taking on the B'wa Kell), but the injury has prevented Chix from flying again. However he is dicribed in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception as hovering to high for the camera in a video call to Foaly.
