I've been referring to the Mothman from time to time in other pages and articles thanks to movies, and associations with Men in Black, Grey Aliens, Deros, and other modern cryptid/UFO/conspiracy lore, but have never gotten around to writing an article on this thing. I may use the article on Trolls as a model for non-Mythos import monsters, and list a number of different Mythos creatures that the Mothman might be. Like Nyarlathotep, or like the Byakhee:

• Mothman: Byakhee don't truly fly; they rend reality by tearing open the spaces in between... the appearance of being winged creatures is just the result of the best efforts of human witnesses to put a shape to something we cannot directly comprehend.... Perhaps one of the best way to think about this is modern stories of the Mothman. And that's partly true too. Because, see, the byakhee can be described as consciousness made manifest. Some theorise they are entire consciousnesses ripped free from their mortal bodies and passed beyond the realities of the known world. How that is achieved, you perhaps have to ask a byakhee....
