A moonsprit is a small, wide-eyed creature native to the temperate forests and cloudglades of Vythar, resembling an uncanny blend of moth and monkey. Its soft, velvety fur is dappled in misty gray and pale lavender hues, while a downy ruff encircles its neck like the halo of a lunar eclipse. Six slender limbs end in nimble, grasping digits perfect for climbing or dangling from branches. The moonsprit’s most striking features are its oversized, luminous eyes—opalescent and expressive—and the gossamer, moth-like wings sprouting from its back. These wings, etched in delicate veining and dusted with speckles, provide a natural camouflage when wrapped around the moonsprit’s body.
Moonsprits are gentle and fleet, gliding silently from treetop to treetop with surprising grace. Though quiet by nature, they communicate through an intricate series of clicks, chitters, and soft wing-drumming, forming deep bonds with those they trust. Omnivorous, they feed on nectar, soft fruits, and insects, often collecting petals and shiny objects to line their hidden nests.
Among the Vythari, the moonsprit is revered as a symbol of insight, mystery, and the liminal—seen as a messenger between waking life and dreams. They are believed to appear to those on the cusp of change, guiding wanderers, poets, and seers beneath the silver glow of the moons. Their elusive elegance and fierce loyalty make them rare but treasured companions.

This is the specie of Aelska's companion that Rozika keeps calling a monkeybug.
