Source See Mothula (5e Creature). This monstrosity is the result of the rare and exceptional mothula that has thrived and matured over decades or centuries. Despite being the size of a wagon, it flies effortlessly on fluttering wings. It is a formidable foe, and can routinely hunt down or entrap humanoids with devious designs and even spellcasting. There are legends of these creatures forming elaborate lairs filled with convoluted traps that ensnare prey on their behalf, and leave the corpses available for the mothula to feed on at its leisure.
