Useful Info
Ghost moths are speedy, invisible monsters with an MP-draining gaze and a stat-draining melee attacks. A ghost moth's stare causes you to irresistibly lose 5-17 MP - if you cannot see invisible, you will "feel you are being watched by something". They can be found in the Spider's Nest (particularly in Spider:4), the Realm of Zot, and on spider floors in Ziggurats.

Tips & Tricks
- Ghost moths can not see invisible. If you yourself are invisible, ghost moths can't drain your MP.
- Ghost moths are a good reason to keep a source of see invisible around, yourself. If you receive the message "You feel you are being watched by something," activate see invisible immediately. Keep in mind they fly faster than most characters run, so escaping without items is not an option.
- The loss of MP is very fast. Even if you're not a spellcaster, be wary that some god abilities require MP to invoke.
History
- Prior 0.28, ghost moths' melee attacks could inflict strong poison.
