Frosmoth (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snom}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] at [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]].

Frosmoth is a white, {{wp|moth}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a round body, of which the upper half is thicker, giving it the appearance of a ruff. It has deep blue eyes and long eyelashes. It has a blue jewel between its eyes and two long antennae, which are gray at the tip with trapezoid patterns. These antennae are used to detect air currents. Frosmoth has two large wings which are gray with a white rim; the patterns on its wings are the same as that on the tip of its antennae. Frosmoth typically keeps its arms crossed, and its usually obscured palms each have a heart-shaped pad.

Given its size, the tails on its wings, and green-hued {{Shiny}} palette, Frosmoth may also draw inspiration from the ''{{wp|Actias}}'' genus of {{wp|Saturniinae|giant silk moths}}, also known as moon moths or luna moths, and, as suggested by its Chinese names, white {{wp|flannel moth}}s. Its translucent wings may have been inspired by clearwing moths ({{wp|Hemaris|''Hemaris''}} or {{wp|Sesiidae|''Sesiidae''}}) or {{wp|Greta oto|glasswing butterflies}}.
