Entity 19

## Description

A **Wall Moth** found somewhere on Level 0.1.

**Entity 19**, also popularly known as the **Wall Moths** are beings which appear very similarly to regular everyday moths. One main trait that differentiates them is that the average **Wall Moths** have about the size of the human head and also their possesion of a stinger.

**Entity 19** are predators and omnivores, their main diet consists of primarly meat, along with small fruits, bugs or leftover pieces of food. **Wall Moths** are known to create nests around large sources of food they were able to harvest or find. Their nests are made of a flesh-like substance they produce, it is incredibly durable and sticky. Their nests are huge, normally taking up various rooms around their level.

### Behaviour

**Entity 19** are commonly found around dark and hot places, theirs wings have some sort of heat resistence and is also very durable, which is able to protect them from extreme temperatures.

**Wall Moths** outside of their nests are usually found on walls, this means they are hunting. **Wall Moths** hunt by waiting on walls, until an unsuspecting wanderer or entity passes by, once that happens they will fly in their prey's face and start stinging them in quick succesion. Their sharp stingers are capable of penetrating skin like a sharp knife cutting a piece of bread.

Once they have killed their target they will start to rip off their flesh using their stingers. Then they will storage as much as they can of it in their mouths, before doing so they will make a high pitched noise alerting other **Wall Moths** of food nearby, then they will return to their nests, if they don't have any they will attempt to find a suitable place to create a nest.

**Wall Moths** inside their nests will rest there, only few males will stay awake while other **Wall Moths** are asleep. Awake males will fly around the nest while watching the place. If any intruders are spotted, they will produce a high-pitched noise to alert the other **Wall Moths** of the intruders presence.

Female **Wall Moths** are the ones to take the role of the hunters. Once they get back to their nests they will share their food with the males and their larvae. Based on the nest's size and population, they may use the time they are in their nests to reproduce, given the short time it takes for them to birth more larvae they may go inactive for up to a hour. Males take the function of protecting the nest whe the female is away hunting.

**Wall Moths** are very territorial beings, they produce specific pheromones when they already belong to a nest, such pheromones can be used by other **Wall Moths** to identify others from different nests, when they identify another **Wall Moth** from a different nest, they will begin to fight until the death. **Wall Moths** also tend to sometimes raid other nests close to their own, if succesful they will kill all of the adults and take the children back to their place, where they will convert them to their nest.

**Wall Moths** are also known to change gender incase the population of males or females is low.

**Wall Moth** larvae will rest in their nest and over the course of a week develop into an adult **Wall Moth**.

### Biology

**Entity 19** has the ability to store food in it's mouth with a small space inside the mouth, they use it to transport food back to their nests

**Entity 19** are known to be alerted by light sources while they are in a dark area, if one is to trigger a light source in such an area, it will cause the **Wall Moth** to go towards the light source, and attempt to destroy whatever is causing it, potentially resulting in them attacking wanderers.

Larvae in the **Wall Moth** species are actually born genderless, their gender is developed when they are metamorphosing into an Adult **Wall Moth**, based on the current male to female population.
