The '''Killer moth''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''. 

==Characteristics==
Killer moths are menacing [[Bug family|moths]] dyed red with the blood of unsuspecting travelers. It focuses on group disruption with bedazzling techniques and paralysis. In later games, the lepidopterans gained the ability to breathe out venomous toxins, as well, making them even more of a nuisance.
