|summary=A gigantic carnivorous moth that attacks with huge, scissor-like mandibles. It spews {{C|Morth}}s to attack, too.
|quote=This gigantic moth scatters its scales through the air. Even using projectiles to clip its wings won't assure safety - it can still run around swiftly and release [[Morth (creature)|larvae]].

|description=A {{C|Horse}}-sized {{C|Moth}} with a single cyclopean eye, a '''mothula''' chops apart prey with giant scissor-like mandibles. Carnivorous by nature, it devours almost any beast in whatever jungles or marshes it calls home. Its black and green carapace blends well into its habitat. A mothula's wings are notoriously fragile, but even if they are destroyed and it is forced to walk, it remains a potent and aggressive monster. It has the peculiar habitat of using its newborn offspring, {{C|Morth}}s, as living weaponry.
