Appearance: pale gold moths with ash crosses on their wings, tiny bell-like bodies, and dust that smells of old incense. Their larvae look like moving wax drops under reliquary glass.

Threat tier: common as a nuisance, elite inside a relic room, and institution-threatening if a cathedral archive is too full of profitable lies.

Habitat: Dawnwatch Abbey, pilgrimage shrines, false relic stalls, sealed confession rooms, candle cupboards, and places where saint cloth has been bought more than revered.

Behavior: they first eat fraudulent labels, copied seals, and incense smoke from staged holiness. If ignored, they begin eating true records too, as if unable to distinguish deception after feeding on it too long.
