Features:
- Adds a new cryptid mob called The Mothman
- Not a reskin – uses fully custom AI behavior
- Focused on stalking and eerie night encounters
- Best suited for dark forest exploration
Creature Behavior
- Spawns only during night time
- Commonly appears in large, dark forests
- Neutral by default
- Becomes hostile only if the player attacks first
- Has the ability to lift the player when attacking
Recommended Configuration
- Adjust settings with the config menu for better balance:
