A ragged grey moth, the size of a hawk; its wings are covered in strange symbols and runes, and occasionally sparks of impossible colors can be seen within them. These creatures sometimes grow within ancient humanoids, especially those which have long outlived their natural lifespan, and hatch from the body after death. They carry part of their host’s personality and memories, which can stretch back thousands of years; because of this, some may intentionally cultivate a moth within themselves in the hopes it will provide a form of immortality.
