A Mothman of West Virginia (Not to be confused with THE Mothman of West Virginia)

My son came up with the idea for today's unusual NPC. He is based on the character of Reno the Bounty Hunter from the Brawlhalla video game. Reno is a four-armed moth man. He goes around dressed like The Man With No Name and has never failed to bring in his quarry. Our take on the character is a bit more light-hearted. He started out as a Mothfolk from the d20 Menace Manual, we removed his Fear Aura and added another set of arms. I thought about lowering his flight speed but since the Mothman urban legend has the creature keeping pace with a car going at or just over 100 mph, I left it alone. My son did most of the work on developing the notes on Mothman society, religion, and the timeline for the war. While searching for a Favored Enemy for the Ranger class feature, I suggested the Flatwoods Monster, another cryptid first sighted in West Virginia. This is what we came up with. Enjoy!

My toddler is obsessed with "Pinkfong and Little Shark's Space Adventure". Like, seriously obsessed. We limit his screen time because we don't want him addicted to electronics but when he gets to watch something, this animated musical is his #1 go-to choice. Hands down. To avoid spoilers for those of you who may choose to watch the show on your own, I will say that a series of events leads Pinkfong and Baby Shark to a Halloween-themed world. During one of the songs, a background character is a blue refrigerator with a human head inside of it. That is the basis for this Weird NPC.  I have been internally debating whether this creature should be Undead or a Construct but given the context I discovered it in, I went with undead.
