Homebrew Moth Fairy Species Details

Not much is known about Moth Fairies. Not only do they tend to keep to themselves, they're extensively hunted for their Antenna. The Antenna are useful in different Potions, but removing the said Antenna will almost 100% cause the moth fairy to perish. 

Living in the fey wilds, each Moth Fairy will live different than another. One may want to live on it's own in a small cottage, while another may be up for a life of adventure, slaying the beasts in the fey wilds for fun. No matter what, they must be careful- being blind is a huge disadvantage in such a place as they Fey Wilds. They have to work extra hard to end up not being a displacer beasts next dinner. 

All Moth Fairies are blind. As soon as they're born, and their Antenna unfurl from their head, the bright light of the fey wilds purple burning sun making contact with their sensitive, adjusting eyes, blinds the Fairy. They have no pupils, their eyes being one solid, misty color. 

Moth Fairy keep their Antenna up when they're moving, or alert. This is so they can make sure they're safe, sensing any living being with a beating heart around them. When a moth fairy feels safe, or when they're simply powerful enough that they don't need to focus on keeping their Antenna up so much, they can allow it to rest against their head. 

Being Fey, Moth Fairies live until they are killed, and are not one to age physically. They reach adulthood at 18.
