Crimson moths are blood-eating insects
that grow to enormous heights. Their blood thirst
drives them to attack the living and dead alike,
laying waste with little warning. Crimson moths
nest in remote places, and their cocoons are sought
after, said to have the strength of steel.
Combat
Like all vermin, crimson moths have no
intelligence. This means they fight by instinct
alone. Natural predators, crimson moths stalk their
prey and then pounce. A crimson moth tries to pin
a foes and then draw out its blood, draining the
opponent of precious vitae through its proboscis. If
opposition is too stiff, they break off from combat
and fly away in search of easier prey.
Blood Drain (Ex): A crimson moth can drain
blood from a living victim by making a successful
grapple check. It if pins the foe, it drains blood,
dealing 1d6 points of Constitution damage each
round the pin is maintained.

on the Material Plane, but not foes on the Ethereal
Plane.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a
crimson moth must hit with both slam attacks. It
can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it
wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and
can drain blood.
Lightning Wings (Sp): A crimson moth’s
wings generate electricity during flight. Once
per minute, a crimson moth can discharge a wild
surge of electrical power that functions as a chain
lightning spell (caster level 16th, save DC 13).
The save DC is Charisma-based.
Pounce (Ex): If a crimson moth charges a
foe, it can make a full attack.
All-Around Vision (Ex): A crimson moth’s
many eyes give it a +2 racial bonus on Spot and
Search checks, and it can’t be flanked.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): The compound
eyes of a crimson moth allow it to see in every
direction, and its antennae provide a heightened
sense of smell. Thus, a crimson moth retains its
Dexterity bonus to AC when flat-footed.
