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.
