For all but a couple hours the lady of the harvest moon appears as a massive moth with expansive wings of beautiful dark browns, tans and gold design with a large blood red eye-spot in the middle and long tails flowing behind. The body is covered in strokable, silky chocolate fuzz and large, comb-like antennae twitch above a couple lustrous black eyes.
When she flies beneath the red rays of the lunar eclipse in the midst of autumn however she takes on human form and sets out to find a mate. Walking through field and hill she attracts men to her from far around. In humanoid form she appears as a petite, beautiful woman of tanned complexion with richly flowing brown tresses that hang freely to her ankles. Her large eyes blaze with the reddish hue of the moon above and are filled with desperate passion.
Once the eclipse ends they part and the lady takes on her insectoid form. She soon lays 1d6 eggs within a deep hole and wraps them in silk. The next new moon she dies, dissipating into the chill wind. The eggs hatch on the first day of autumn.
Combat
The lady of the harvest moon rarely fights, preferring to blind or confuse her enemies. However, if she is pressed or her chosen mate endangered she flies into a rage (literally), slashing with her claws in both forms. Her most common opponents are wives who have followed their spellbound husbands.
