Homebrew Mothkin Species Details
Mothkin are rarely seen outside of their occasional adventures throughout the land, but those who do present themselves to others often evoke curiosity.
Most Mothkin spend most of their time underground, but even the most stubborn Mothkin are prone to wanderlust in the outside world. Many Mothkin take up adventurous occupations, like scouts, trackers, cartographers, or even bounty hunters.
An Unusual Folk
Not many have seen a Mothkin up-close, provided their elusiveness, but those who do note their unusual traits that make them easily distinguishable.
They are covered in a fur-like fuzz and have feather-like antennae. Their mouths appear more like mandibles, and their eyes, an insect's compound eyes. When not in flight, their wings drape over their bodies like cloaks, hiding their extra pair of arms.
