The Ranhon are giant flying moths that are usually found in forests and mountainous regions. Their natural habitat seem to be Delhang, Aleban and Zoniza. They are pretty large in their size, almost like the size of an Albatross, when their wings are open. They are attracted by the Yohmin flowers, and their pheromones are usually used as a way to guide them to their destination. They are also exploited for their particularly resistant and soft silk, mostly in Zoniza, while among the Ruadh'Losh they are utilized as message and small package couriers. The Ranhon name is a Zonizan word that means "The White Flyer" due to the colour of its carapace and fur.

  • The Ranhon are giant flying moths that are usually found in forests and mountainous regions. Their natural habitat seem to be Delhang, Aleban and Zoniza. They are pretty large in their size, almost like the size of an Albatross, when their wings are open. They are attracted by the Yohmin flowers, and their pheromones are usually used as a way to guide them to their destination. They are also exploited for their particularly resistant and soft silk, mostly in Zoniza, while among the Ruadh'Losh they are utilized as message and small package couriers. The Ranhon name is a Zonizan word that means "The White Flyer" due to the colour of its carapace and fur. In order to protect its body from cold winds during winter, the entire body of the insect is covered by a layer of soft fur, while its antennae are particularly sensitive bio-receptors, allowing them to sense vibrations and changes in wind directions. They also posses long, coiled tongues that are stored in a small "beak" like mandible pair below their faces. If used as messengers, it's important to have something that emits enough pheromones to attract the insect through large distances. Ranhon has a very sharp sense of smell, and they can sense the presence of particular odors regardless their distance, and they will always go to the source of the odor. Unlike males, female Ranhon are smaller than their counterparts and usually have two large black dots on their wings, while males are completely white. Due to their size, their muscles are highly resistant and are capable to climb steep surfaces, although they need to keep their wings always in exercise. Indeed, when they are on the ground, they tend to move their wings slowly, in order to keep the wing muscles in exercise. They have a primitive second brain that handles most of their involuntary wing motions. If they don't do that, muscles will become atrophied and they won't be able to fly anymore, as moving the wings would result in a severe pain for the animal. Usually, if Ranhon have atrophied wings, they are suppressed in order to not make them suffer.
