It is described as a small, mammal-like animal that thrives in urban edges such as parks, gardens, and neglected lots. The character is commonly portrayed as curious, friendly, and elusive, inviting interaction with humans while avoiding harm.

Etymology and depiction: The name 'Miksie' is a neologism used by creators to evoke a sense of hybridity and whimsy, often interpreted as a blend of 'mix' and affectionate suffixes. Visual representations vary, but typical drawings show a compact body, large eyes, soft fur, and a tail that may be ringed or fluffy.

Habitat and behavior: In fictional accounts, Miksies inhabit mixed urban-wild habitats where they feed on seeds, fruit, insects, and discarded foods. They are usually nocturnal or crepuscular, rely on stealth, and exhibit cautious but friendly behavior toward people who respect their space.

In culture: Since its emergence, Miksie has circulated primarily in online communities, where it appears in memes, fan art, and independent games. Variants of the Miksie character appear across different media, often used to explore themes of coexistence with urban wildlife and the blurring line between real and imagined creatures.
