'''Ghost moths''' are speedy, [[invisible]] monsters with an [[MP]]-draining gaze and a [[stat]]-draining, strongly [[poison]]ous bite. As with an [[eye of draining]], a ghost moth's stare causes you to irresistibly lose 5-17 MP. If you cannot [[see invisible]], you will instead "feel you are being watched by something" (you lose the MP either way). They can be found in the [[Spider's Nest]] (particularly in Spider:4), [[the Realm of Zot]], and on spider floors in [[Ziggurat]]s.
