| Description | Noctural mothmen, standing about 6' tall with vast wingspans. Their young appear to be giant caterpillars, but at around the age of four or five, they form coccoons, which are guarded heavily, and then emerge as smaller shavu and grow slowly to full size over the next ten or twelve years. |
| Procreation | With each other, to create new shavu. With other arhtropodals for halfbreeds. |
| Magic | One in five million has soul or heart magic. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is not uncommon. |
| Special Powers | They are known for their voracious appetites as caterpillars and nocturnal lifestyles and lack of eating as adults. Some variants create silk. |
| Weaknesses | Sunlight weakens them. |
| Culture | They honor the light of the moon, and anything that resembles it. Their societies are focused on the lunar cycle--on the full moon, they celebrate, on the new moon, they hunt. Various inbetween events exist, and when three moons light the sky, their whole society comes together for a huge ceremony. |
