I'm not exacly an expert when it comes to norse mythical creatures but i'm fairly sure that the ''pretty young man'' version of the nix only became popular around 1882-1884. Before that he was usually depicted as a older man with a more ''inhuman'' look. Like perhaps sharp teeth, frog eyes or greenish skin.
It's only more recently that the nix is portrayed as a more beautiful looking man.
