Wherever the acherontia’s wings flutter, doom shall follow. Everyone knows this adage and feels unrelenting dread whenever one of these moth-like humanoids appears in the vicinity. Standing just over 6 feet tall, not including antennae, the archeronita has a waspish figure - pun intended. Their spindly limbs are covered in a fine downy, their wings a colorful collection of skulls. Most find their faces vaguely human, if not for the massive, glowing red eyes. The humanoids wear free-flowing shrouds befitting their cosmic duties. The doomsayer never seeks conflict but is often set upon whenever they appear. Whenever the acherontia arrives at a location it is merely to watch the tragedy unfold. However, many falsely believe slaying them will avert disaster. Often, this leads to further heartache for while the doomsayers are a peaceful lot, they are not pacifists and will defend themselves.
