History & Origin

Nyxie is a modern pet form built on Nyx — in Greek myth the primordial goddess of the night, whose name is simply the word nyx, 'night'. She stands among the oldest figures in the myths, born of Chaos. The -ie ending is entirely contemporary, and the coinage has no documented history of its own; the routes are uncertain, which we note. Playful, dark-edged, and modern (said 'NIK-see').

It appears only very rarely in U.S. records. Very rare, mythic, and playful.

Did you know? Nyx is the Greek word for night, and the goddess who personified it — old enough in the myths to be called a mother of the gods. Nyxie softens her into a nickname, though the coinage's routes are uncertain, which we note.
