Homebrew Mothfolk Species Details

Mothfolk are roughly human sized insectoids, with large wings and relatively slender build. The average mothfolk is between 6 and 7 feet tall, but weighs between 120 and 130 pounds, with long, thin arms and small hands, with long fingers designed for manipulating fine particulates and small items.

They come from dark caverns, and are a nocturnal race. They usually scavenge any technology they can come across, no matter how primitive or advanced, and they are often dazzled by sparkling lights. They usually wear masks to protect them from being distracted, and their exoskeletons provide surprisingly minimal protection to weapons
