A creature, including the target, can use its action to try to detach the dread moth as if trying to break a grapple (escape DC 10). *This oversized grey moth has two feathery antennae that twitch as if agitated. With surprising speed, it drops down from the air.* It is an understatement to say that dread moths are terrible to behold. They appear as a dark grey moth the size of an eagle. Their sickening bodies are covered with short hair reminiscent of mold. Instead of trunks they have large mandibles that constantly tap together, producing a distinct, eerie chittering sound. The origin of dread moths is unclear. Many claim they come from Hades, but the creatures have become such a widespread nuisance amongst the planes that it is impossible to tell. While sometimes encountered alone, dread moths are more often than not found in large nests containing several dozen individuals. A single nest can be as large as a small castle and house nearly a hundred dread moths, lead by a single queen. Their motives are unclear; although they have no established society as far as scholars can tell, dread moths have a habit of dissecting their dead prey, sometimes examining the body for hours before disposing of it. It is believed by some that the moths somehow learn the anatomy of their foes through this procedure, although most find the idea laughable. A typical dread moth has a wing span of 3 to 4 feet, although its small, segmented body is only about 1 foot long, and it weighs about 10 pounds. They cannot speak. <a href="https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Dread_Moth_(3.5e_Monster)">Original by Dracomortis</a>. ___ >## Dread Moth Queen >*Medium fiend, neutral evil* >___ >- **Armor Class** 14 (natural armor) >- **Hit Points** 58 (9d10 + 9) >- **Speed** 10 ft., fly 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|9 (–1)|14 (+2)|12 (+1)|7 (–2)|11 (+0)|14 (+2)| >___ >- **Skills** Athletics +1, Stealth +4 >- **Damage Resistances** acid, bludgeoning, piercing and slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10 >- **Languages** — >- **Challenge** 3 (700 XP) >___ >***Disturbing Appearance.*** Despite its moth-like appearance, a dread moth queen is disturbing to behold.

([Ba-dum tss](https://youtu.be/VDAlblogUmY)) A reskinned Roc, essentially. Artwork is some concept art for Dragon Age 3, with a moth's picture pasted on. I must say I love the idea of having a creature the size of a small village being proficient in Stealth. Just imagine you're standing with a torch and an imperator moth sneaks up and lands right behind you. You see everybody else going pale and ask "what?". Then you turn back.
