Homebrew Lepali (Mothfolk) 5E Species Details

Moth Kind

Lepali (Mothfolk) are a fey-touched race of humanoids with different unique aspects resembling humanoid and humanoid-like features, with a true and apparent component of moth characteristics. 

Moth features can often range, but they will always have wings, varying in size, but usually reaching past their arm span. The wings can vary in color and in pattern from bright greens, vibrant saturate colors, all the way to simple pastels and soft greyscale. They will often have a soft fur that can appear in patches, completely covered or nowhere at all. The fur is most commonly on their arms, wings, and head. Additionally, they'll commonly have large bulbous insectoid eyes of a moth as well as soft feather-like antennae that extend from the forehead. Lastly, Lepali (Mothfolk) will always have an extra set of arms, for a total of 4. Their extra pair is fairly weak but effectively do simpler tasks. Otherwise , most of the human-like parts of the Lepali (Mothfolk) will match the patterns of their moth features. Fore example, bright green wings and fur will result in hair that is green. Larger wings tend to lead the the Lepali (Mothfolk) being taller

Free-Mind

These creatures have little known to the origin. Some consider they may have possibly been simple moths some time ago  who had found their way into the Feywild who were eventually warped by the whimsical magic of the land. Some think it may have been the other way around and a fey-cursed human being another possibility. Given they are fey relation, it could be any number of possibilities. Regardless of their history, this Fey-infused humanoid race very much takes after both their predecessors, the fey & the moth
Lepali (Mothfolk) are free-minded. Ambitions and convictions are not something they idealize as much as they do empathy and an open mind or heart and a willingness to take on the new. A long-term goal for them is a fairly rare encounter, and if one does have one, it is often due to something that that was initially done out of curiosity or whim. A simple distraction could lead to a simple change of plans or a whole new adventure when it involves one of these winged insect people
