Approximate order of difficulty: dingy, gloomy, murky, cinereous...
Spawned after the Chrysalis opened and the Akul'tiz emerged. Part of Akul'tiz invasions. Comes in various kinds: dingy, dusky, atramentous, et cetera. Unknown if different types are of variable difficulty.
Description
The atramentous moth is a dark thing cloaked in flickering, baleful shadow, vaguely insectile in form. Its flesh seems nearly as mercurial as smoke, constantly evolving through irregular, chaotic shapes. The creature's bulbous compound eyes are utterly matte and unreflective, each crowned by an antenna which bears an uncanny resemblance to the soft, questing arm of an infant Human, complete with tiny growths resembling inquisitive, chubby fingers. A slick proboscis protrudes from the moth's mouth, dangling obscenely against its thorax. Most striking are the creature's massive wings, spreading fractally above and around its body like drops of dark ink shifting through water.
