Moth yōkai

A Moth Yōkai (妖怪・蛾, Yōkai Ga), or Moth Demon in the English dub, is an anthropomorphic demon which shares certain characteristics with moths.

Abilities
Moth Yōkai, like many other types of Yōkai, can take on humanoid forms to conceal themselves among humans, but even in this form they still posses great strength. They can also create silk with acidic properties which can inflict great burns on both Humans and Hanyōs, with this silk they can also make large cocoons in which to trap their opponents and give them a slow and painful death. When in their true moth form, they can fly and create powerful blasts of wind and even whirlwinds. Moth Daiyōkai have shown greater abilities, such as creating energy beams, summon demons, powerful breath, control over yōkai moths and even being able to absorb countless souls at once.

History
200 years ago a clan of Moth Yōkai from the continent, led by their lord Hyōga aided the Mongol army in their invasion of Japan, but were defeated by the ruler of the western lands, the great dog daiyōkai Inu no Taishō who sealed their lord and the lord's son within the Tree of Ages. However 200 years later the lord's son Menōmaru would escape and seek to finish his conquest of Japan and almost succeeded, luckily he was later defeated by the son of Inu no Taishō, Inuyasha.
