Homebrew Mothman Species Details

A Mothman is a strange creature that most people in the world are completely unaware of. The few people who have seen or know of Mothmen are seen as insane. The actual Mothmen themselves, however, know that they are real and do not believe that each other are insane (fancy that). These shadowy fliers are roguish beings; some like to cause chaos by stealing items in the night and stalking the random people to insanity, while others solve problems anonymously. 

Mothman Traits

Due to the strange biology of Mothmen they have these abilities.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Wisdom score increases by 1

Age

Mothmen have very short lifespans, similarly to the insects that these creatures originated from. They generally reach adulthood at 5 years old and live to be 30 years old. 

Alignment

Mothmen are chaotic by design; because of their position in the shadows of society, many Mothmen have no reason to live a lawful life and generally are only out for themselves, although many are still empathetic and will show that empathy in secretive and chaotic ways.

Size

Mothmen usually grow to about 2 to 3 feet tall. Your size is Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 25 feet. You additionally have a flying speed of 25 feet, however, you cannot use this flying speed while you are in any kind of sunlight or while wearing Medium or Heavy armor. When you are exposed to any kind of sunlight or Radiant damage, your wings cannot be used again for 1 minute. 

Darkvision

Because Mothmen spend nearly their entire life during the night, they can see exceptionally well in darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

You have proficiency in the Stealth skill.

Cover of Society

In order for Mothmen to interact with society when necessary, they have the ability to disguise their strange form. You can cast the Disguise Self spell once per day.
