Mortasheen - Mothstrousby ~scythemantis

Traditional Art / Drawings / Macabre & Horror

CLASS: ARTHROPOID

Fusion between human and moth. With its soft, downy coating, delicate curves and dark, sparkling eyes, the Mothstrous is regarded by many as one of the most repulsive and unsettling Arthropoidal monsters, shunned by more conventionally attractive hybrids like the Blighterfly and Pestilouse. Nonetheless, the creature is well armed with its hidden layer of stinging hairs, disorienting sonar wail and intoxicating pheromones. It may also take strategic advantage of its own reputation, targeting those who suffer acute phobias towards its kind. Though too heavy to fly properly, its light frame allows it to leap and glide with surprising grace for its misshapen proportions.

Depending on their base insects, Mothstrous may or may not possess functional mouthparts, relying on prosthetics or biological symbiotes to nourish them intravenously.

It's silly how many people find moths "creepy" and butterflies beautiful, when moths sort of look like fluffy, silky bunnies with wings.

I wanted to make a joke on that in the Mortasheen world by making the Moth the only traditionally "cute" Arthropoid, when my butterfly is already one of the nastiest.

Then I realized, however, that Mortasheen's people would STILL consider Blighterfly the pretty one. Moths can't catch a break in any universe.

Really? I don't mind moths. I don't see how they're much different from butterflies. Butterflies and moths are the only insects that I actually like. For one thing, I can't stand bees...

I've met people more afraid of moths than anyone I've ever met afraid of spiders. They SOB when they see one, afraid it might touch them (and then...I guess...get them kind dusty?)
