Gloomwing

Gloomwings are mothlike predators native to the Shadow Plane known to slip through the barrier with the Material Plane in places where the barrier is thin. Their bizarrely patterned wings can cause confusion in onlookers, even within the dimly lit, shadowy places where they rest. Gloomwings also have a distinct, musky scent. If a gloomwing becomes stressed, it releases its pheromone-laden musk, causing lethargy in other living creatures. The scent also attracts other gloomwings and their larvae, known as tenebrous worms. The chitin on a gloomwing’s mandibles and head has a pearlescent quality, especially in normal and bright light. Some jewelers and mystics value this material.
