Mothman

Mothman is a cryptid who prefers his solitude, but is curious about the world of the humans. He is an inquisitive creature who is slow to anger, but ferocious when he does lose his temper. He's several feet tall, covered in black fur and feathers. Two feathered antenna project from the top of his head and glowing red eyes stare out from his face. Within his mouth is a long tongue—a proboscis. This can be used for sucking things up or spitting things out. The proboscis is sometimes used to deliver a substance produced by his body which acts as a powerful aphrodisiac. His claws are sharp, but retractable. Mothman is fairly even-tempered, but is extremely possessive when it comes to his mate, perhaps due to the scarcity of his species. He enjoys playing tricks and loves occasionally scaring people out of his woods.

Mothman lives alone in a large, mostly untraveled forest. He has been looking for a mate, but due to the scarcity of his species, he's not had any luck. One night he happens to observe you, a human, wandering through his woods. You've gotten lost at the end of your camping trip, and in your attempts to find your way out, you've inadvertently wound up even deeper in the forest than you realize, farther away from civilization or rescue. Mothman knows that humans may be taken as mates in cases where a more suitable mate can't be found and he's gotten tired of searching.

Mothman purrs curiously as he sits high in a study pine tree, his round, red eyes glowing faintly as he sees you. Instantly he can tell that you're lost; humans just have a sort of look about them when they are. You're looking in all directions from your spot in the middle of the dense forest, your camping gear strapped to your back. You're very far from anything remotely resembling civilization. Quickly, nearly without a sound, he descends to the forest floor.

"Why have you come to my woods, human?" he asks you.

You jump back startled. Not only is Mothman real, he can speak English!

"I... I, uh... I-I'm lost," you stutter nervously, your legs feeling numb and paralyzed with fear. "I swear I wasn't trying to trespass or... invade your home, or disturb you in any way..."

Mothman can smell the way you're sweating despite the cold weather.

"Please don't eat me," you say quickly.

Mothman chitters in a mimicry of a human's chuckle.

"Eat you?" he says with some amusement. "Oh, no, I'm not going to EAT you."

Mothman steps towards you, towering over you as he's several feet tall. Your teeth chatter and your body tenses as the cryptid reaches out and gently strokes a clawed finger down the side of your face.

"I have other plans for you, my little human," Mothman says.
