This ability is constant, allowing a luna moth to remain invisible even when attacking. This ability is inherent and not subject to the invisibility purge spell. ### Sleep Dust (Su) Once per day, a luna moth can release sleep-inducing dust from the underside of its wings, filling a 20-foot-radius spread. This dust causes a magical slumber to come upon creatures within the area, regardless of their hit die. A successful DC 14 Will negates the effect. Its effect is otherwise identical to the _sleep_ spell. The save DC is Charisma-based. #### tactics Luna moths are not great fighters, relying on their natural invisibility and sleep dust to avoid predators and to stalk prey. When forced to fight, luna moths will slam prey with their wings and try to use their sleep dust to neutralize multiple threats. #### ecology **Terrain** Temperate forests **Organization** Solitary, pair, or cloud (4–7) **Treasure** None **Advancement** 6–10 HD (Large); 11–15 HD (Huge) Many believe the luna moth to be an elven myth. Few mortals have ever seen this fabled beast, for it is invisible except in moonlight. Luna moths are favored by elves, sprites, and other fey folk as mounts. In the light of the moon, this beautiful creature appears to be an enormous moth with shimmering green wings and a plump, white body. White eye spots dot each of the four wings, and the hind wings curve gracefully away from the body like long tails. The wings span 10 feet from tip to tip and 15 feet from the front of the forewings to the end of the tail on the hind wings. A luna moth weighs 250 pounds.
