Hell moths 「地獄蛾, heru mosu」 are B-ranked monsters that reside within the southern sections of the Great Jura Forest, noted to have an especially prominent habitat close to the ogres' village.
Background[]
A type of magic beast mutated from moths. Hell moths are ordinarily extremely vicious monsters with a rank of B being assigned to them by the Free Guild. They release a dust-like scale powder that causes disorientation and hallucinations.[1]
While normally highly dangerous to deal with, they're completely harmless during their metamorphosis from larvae to adult moth. During this time frame it is possible to retrieve the cocoon and harvest their silk without putting anybody in danger. Said silk is a highly prized commodity, bearing an immense softness beyond that of ordinary silk while also containing a large density of magicules which makes clothing made from it offer a surprising amount of protection.
