Ok, these are the final statistics for the NPC and PC variant. I’ve also added a few comments.

1. Dual-Natured and concealment
They are Dual-Natured and have Concealment powers. Due to how powerful they actually are (en masse) I would say that Concealment only works on the physical plane, they still light up on the astral plane.

2.Magic Rating
For GM's I would say give them a magic rating of 1-3 for the concealment power at most since they are not invisible, they are just magically good at hiding

3.Cost for PC's
I've given them a cost of +50P from the Bandersnatch (+30) and added Metagenic qualities - I've added Granite Skin combined with Dermal Deposits to represent their hardened skin from their high calcium/bone structure.

4. Attributes
The fragile horde is how I see them and removed the original Goblin Attribute and taken Bandersnatch instead, still giving them a high resistance to any WIL affecting spells.

The Tooth Fairies
Infected Pixies have become a serious nuisance as they have multiplied in the darker areas of the cities. They usually only prey on solitary targets and are seldom seen by the majority of the sprawl.

Due to their unique dietary requirement they frequently inhabit metahuman cities and breed in large numbers, a side effect of their condition. There are two kinds of these, the somewhat intelligent loners who can survive on their own and usually live a solitary life and the more mindless packs.

The mindless packs are more organized as a hive and breed in large numbers and fly as swarms, thankfully these are rare and hives are often hunted down by paranormal critter exterminators.

Animals tend to react to their presence and usually hide.

As long as food is abundant they can share a (temporary) habitat with other infected like Ghouls, at least until food supply runs short and then they start eyeing the bones of the Ghouls.

The Bone Gnawers are considered a direct competitor to the Tooth Fairies and are usually eaten and killed on sight.

The Transformation
Very few have realized the connection between Pixies and Tooth Fairies except of course Pixies themselves. No-one knows on the other hand how the condition came to be but the virus is a version of the Krieger strain that may have jumped species.

The transformation is, as always, traumatic and painful but unlike many of their mindless cousins they retain a certain cruel malign intelligence even though they have been reduced into something closer to a beast. Pixies calls it simply the “Shadow Curse” and very few retain their original mind and personality, becoming a twisted evil version of their original selves.

Appearance
Like the Goblin the Tooth Fairie looses almost all body fat and gains a spindly emancipated appearance with the bone structure clearly visible. Pale and hairless or with hair-like dermal spikes, (Porcupine spines) on their head. Porcelain like skin and trancelucent wings and glows in the dark.

Their teeth are sharper and more pronounced and when standing on the ground they tend to crouch more and weights less than regular pixies. Their eyes lacks pupils and seems to glow with an inner light.

Magical Tradition
About 1 out of 20 Tooth fairies have a magic rating above one and are often Shamanic Adepts or full Shamanic Magicians. No-one has ever figured out what totem they tend to follow.
