A Moonlight Butterfly is a large nocturnal butterfly spanning a foot. During the night it will seek out intelligent creatures that are asleep, consuming the dreams of all within a 30-foot radius. This process takes a turn, during which it will emit a pale white light reminiscent of the moon.
Creatures that have had their dreams eaten are effectively left in a comatose state, not waking up to mundane stimuli such as dawn, loud noises, or pain. They are left extremely sensitive to magic and any spell cast within 100 feet of a moonlight butterfly’s victims will cause them to awaken violently, losing half their present hit points due to having their senses overloaded.
