Special Traits

Actions

• Proboscis. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.
• Frosted Wings (1/day). A 20-foot radius cloud of colorful ice crystals extends from the rimewing. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the rimewing for 1 minute. While charmed by the rimewing, a creature is incapacitated and must move up to its speed toward the rimewing at the start of its turn, stopping when it is 5 feet away. A charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

About

Moths are old creatures, and they have survived through ages and events that other species have not. For this reason, though their coloration may not be as vibrant as butterflies and their flight not as graceful as dragonflies, moths are considered by many to possess great wisdom.

Captivating. Rimewings are prized for their wings, which feature a magically compelling pattern and coloration. They are found in cold and snow-covered climes, where they use their magic to draw in prey.
