Lepidoptera

Physical Description

Bipedal winged insectoids with a fuzzy abdomen, large compound eyes and antennae.

History

Lepidoptera mostly keep to themselves choosing to stay in their native homeland of the Solar Fields in the Feywild (Amphies) or in the deepest depth of the Underdark (Rhopalo). However some are known to wander the Material Plane alone in search of adventure, fame, and a good time.

Society

Lepidoptera have formed a matriarchal society keen on defending their queen who governs the day-to-day life of the colony. Having been raised communally they have a strong sence of family but with no parents often view the queen as their mother. Lepidoptera spend the first few months of their life as a caterpillar/larva eating all the plant fibers they can get to prepare for metamorphosis. Once they are ready they form a cocoon and transform into their adult body.They are a semi-nomadic culture who are often only seen when on a seasonal pilgrimage to new foraging grounds needed to keep their rapidly growing young well fed.
