The Mothwing Harbinger is a striking monstrosity with the body of a humanoid but adorned with moth-like features. Its wings, resembling delicate gossamer, extend from its shoulders, bearing patterns reminiscent of moonlit nights. Its large, compound eyes glow with an otherworldly luminescence, and its limbs end in sharp claws that betray its predatory nature. The creature's overall appearance is an unsettling fusion of elegance and menace, a haunting reminder of the enigmatic forces that inhabit the shadowed realms.T he Mothwing Harbinger uses its keen senses to locate its prey and often attacks from ambush or while its target is distracted. It prefers hit-and-run tactics, using its fly speed to stay out of reach of melee attacks after striking. When in combat, it swoops down with its claws or bite, aiming to weaken its prey before retreating to a safe distance.

Suggested Environments

The Mothwing Harbinger can be found in the dim and mysterious depths of dense forests, particularly those shrouded in twilight or moonlight. It is often drawn to areas where moonlight filters through the canopy, casting an ethereal glow upon the landscape. These creatures are most active during the night, when their moth-like features allow them to blend seamlessly with the shadows.
