Description
Personality
The flying extinguisher of the Mixopolis City Fire Department, this Mixel gives the perfect bird’s eye perspective on any emergency. Fly to a water source and open Aquad’s mouth wide to fill up and then soar into the air again to drop water on the fire. When it comes to high-flying combustible action in Mixopolis, Aquad is the go-to inferno-extinguishing Mixel!
Physical Appearance
Aquad is mostly red in color. His body is a downwards-facing semicircle. He has an upper jaw with a large nose on it, with a single eye that sports a yellow firefighter helmet. His legs are long, with red, white, and black pontoons. His arms taper out to wing-like shapes, with yellow pincer hands on the ends of each and blue lights on the insides of them. On his side is a water bucket, while his back has a black rudder tail.
Ability
Aquad can dump water from behind. He also has wings, allowing him to fly.
Biography
Early life
Little is known about Aquad's past.
First adventures
One day, he and his brothers helped put out a fire, and later confronted some lying Nixels that were trying to make the three of them look bad. ("Nixels' New Adventure!")
When the Mixopolis Bank was foiled from being robbed by the Pyrratz, he sent out a gush of water to scare them off and send them away. ("Attempted Bank Robbery")
He and his brothers showed off their Max skills to put out a fire. ("Breaking News")
Further adventures
Aquad and Hydro were forced to put out the fire that Splasho was breathing, thanks to a hot chili he had eaten. ("Fire Brigade Set On Fire By Hot Chili")
At the scene of a Mixopolis building fire that a Mixie Cat was stuck in, Aquad (under the influence of an I-Cubit) refused to create a Max with Splasho and Hydro. The three argued, causing the Nindjas to come out of hiding and Max to save the cat instead. However, the building still burned down in the end due to the ignorance of the bickering MCFD. ("Nixel, Nixel, Go Away")

Trivia
- Aquad is the only canonically-named Mixel to have a vowel start his name.

- His nostrils were oval-shaped, but in Nixel, Nixel, Go Away, they were circular, the intro for the special appears to retained his oval-shaped nostrils though.
