Homebrew Lepalï (Mothfolk) Species Details
Lepalï (Mothfolk) is a fey-touched race of humanoids with different unique aspects resembling humanoid and human-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 in pattern from bright greens, vibrant saturated colors, all the way to simple pastels and soft grayscale. 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, Lepalï (Mothfolk) will always have an extra set of arms, for a total of 4. Their extra pair is fairly weak but effectively can do simpler tasks. Otherwise, most of the human-like parts of the Lepalï (Mothfolk) will match the patterns of their moth features. For example, Bright Green Wings and fur will result in green hair. Larger Wings tend to lead to the Lepalï (Mothfolk) being taller.
