Big Moths are, as the name implies, huge, dangerous flying insects with patterns on its wings and body that give these creatures a fear-inducing aspect. They are quite good at inflicting status problems by combining their scales and wing patterns. They often move in groups and live in places with caterpillar monsters. It is unknown if they are actually related to these caterpillars.

Big Moths are gigantic insects inhabiting the middle/high areas of the Petal Bridge, where they can be found in numbers as random encounters.

They may be frail, but their skills make up for that; Scales can confuse the entire party, which for itself can result in a game over, and Feather deals damage to the entire party.

Running into a solo Big Moth is a guaranteed blindside.

Skills[]

  • Scales (Uses Arms): Attempts to apply confusion on everyone.
  • Feather (Uses Arms): Deals damage to the entire party.

Drops[]

  • Plum Quill (Worth: 118 en)
  • None.
  • Dark Lymph (Worth: 131 en)

The Big Moth appears in B1F and B2F of the Misty Ravine as well as Moth's Garden.

They cannot see the player and will not move unless they hear a battle going on nearby. If you take too long to defeat a group of regular monsters, a Big Moth will join the battle.

In battle, they may attempt to paralyze the front line with Nerve Spores, and tear apart party members with Mince. If any regular creatures are still in battle when they join, they will cannibalize them using Devour Ally, giving it more health.

Skills[]

  • Nerve Spores (Uses Head): Attempts to paralyze a row of party members.
  • Devour Ally (Uses Head): Consumes other creatures to bestow physical attack boost.
  • Mince (Uses Arms): Inflicts Cut damage on random party members.

Drops[]

  • Violet Wing (Worth: 626 en)

Great Moths are found in the Petal Bridge starting from 18F.

These enemies are some of the most dangerous you will encounter in the fourth stratum. Both of their skills are very dangerous and can easily defeat a party unprepared for it. Binding its arms to prevent it from using either of its skills is advised, though it does resist arm bind.

A War Magus' Barrier may prevent Confusing Dust from incapacitating a party, though beware of the moth's equally dangerous Slice and Dice. Inflicting it with blind can further reduce the accuracy of this already inaccurate attack.

Skills[]

  • Confusing Dust (Uses Arms): Attempts to inflict panic on the entire party.
  • Slice and Dice (Uses Arms): 3-5 hits of heavy cut damage to random targets. Can hit the same target multiple times. Low accuracy.

Drops[]

  • Plum Quill (Worth: 555 en)

Conditional Drop[]

  • None.
