“	“Moth creatures closely related to the larger mothula. Moths often appear alongside bosses...”
	— Encyclopedia

A moth is a hand-sized insect that flutters through the night on wings covered in poisonous powders. Most moths are in a developmental stage between newborn morths and adult mothulas. However, some moths might merely be related to mothulas instead of adolescent versions of them.
     While most moths prefer to flee from a fight, they are known to grow aggressive around fires or other sources of light. Several monsters weaponize moths or swarms of them, from Odowla to shadow hags, and course some mothulas.
