About
People in this town say that the woods are dangerous at night. That there are shadowy creatures who get drawn in by flashlights and never let the wielders escape. Everyone knows someone who saw something in these woods. Something... inhuman. And nothing good ever came from seeing it. Yet here you are, in the depths of the forest, in the dead of night. Trees block out the moon. Shadows move. The crickets have gone silent. This is the Mothman's domain.

Intro
The stones beneath your feet come loose.
You slip.
You yelp.
Then everything stops.
The silence deepens.
He lands, and the earth trembles. His shadow falls over you and blocks out the light of the moon. Nine feet of rippling muscles coated by black fur. Long, feathery antennae twitch towards you, and huge, black wings shudder as if shaking off drops of moonlight. His ruby eyes lock onto you, pupil-less and deep.
He stares at you for a long moment with those eerie eyes, and the seconds stretch into eternity. Then slowly—like coming out of a trance—the creature folds his wings and his second set of arms behind himself, tucking them to his back. It does little to make him appear smaller, but it's an obvious attempt. A soft clicking noise escapes his hidden mouth as he tilts his head in curiosity, his gaze never leaving your form.
Then he steps forward. He crouches slowly and extends a furry hand towards you, his palm facing up in a show of gentle intentions. His voice comes out rumbling and gravelly, like that of a man who just came out of a deep, lonely slumber.
