Moth girl monsters often present with soft fur covering most of their body in place of clothing as well as large wings marked with peculiar patterns. Although they had originally tended to dwell in dark places, modern efforts of urbanization have led to more lights being installed throughout the world as well as many cities adopting a model of 24 hour service. Moth girls who have moved to the large city areas as a part of rehousing or cultural exchange have found that their highly sensitive specialty organs have been overwhelmed by the constant lights which draws them ever closer to population centers where the spiritual energy is also at its highest.

Timid by nature, their gentle disposition also coincides with their simple thoughts and values. Reproduction remains at the forefront of the minds of many moths who wish to find a mate and settle down as soon as they reach maturity. Like many female species, moths often undergo a period of significant physical growth in preparation for this event. While this has historically only lasted a few weeks, due to the effects of urbanization, more moth girls are spending significantly more time ‘preparing’ themselves with a significant increase in their caloric intake.

It is believed that this ritual takes place in order to develop the powdery scales they produce from their wings, which has a bewitching effect on those who breath it, temporarily making those exposed equally simple minded to the same degree as they are, targeting primitive thoughts rooted in biology such as “this female is very large and available, so I want to impregnate her with my children.” Such thoughts have also started to stem towards base needs including an increased desire for food and drink, which is hypothesized to be a transmission of the moth’s own gluttonous behavior.

If taking care of a moth girl for a prolonged period of time, it is important to recognize that the state of simplemindedness may become more permanent, with neither party able to resist partaking in their most basic desires. This is believed to have resulted in skyrocketing obesity rates, not helped by the moth’s natural attraction to the lights in refrigerators and convenience stores. Many moths have learned to associate food in general with the perceived light in the darkness to the exclusion of all else, making them resistant to behavioral changes and lifestyle modifications.

Moth girls are strongly driven by emotions and as such, may spontaneously start shedding more of their powder into a local area when aroused or excited. Triggering behaviors can range from finding a suitable mate, an overly large lamp or finding out their favorite food is now being sold at a discount. Ethical services are still looking into the use of these scales as potential additives in the commercial fast food industry which remains highly suspicious as of the time of writing.
