===Adult Mothkin===

The anatomy of the adult mothkin is, internally, most similar to that of the elves, likely due to their fey lineage. Digestive and respiratory systems are normal, whereas the endocrine system is linked to their wings, and changes in hormones or the like will trigger a respective release of dust from the wings. Their bones are light, designed for an airborne species, and they can only carry at most half their body weight. Externally, a chitinous, thin exoskeleton covers the body, and is in turn coated with a layer of fur which gathers in tufts around the neck, wrists, and ankles. These tufts are usually discolored from the rest, producing "tiger-stripe" patterns on the moth. The torso and waist have the least fur, and the exoskeleton is sometimes exposed.

Mothkin have no mouth, but a thin proboscis from which they collect water and other liquids. Energy is supplied from a form of photosynthesis, gathering light from the sun or moon through their wings. This process also supplies their body heat. Changes in temperature and atmosphere are noted through their antennae, which also pick up vibrations and allow them to hear. Their eyes are large, with no sclera and situated closer to the sides of their head.
