At some point, you will head to the Appalachia region in , where you might come across different Mothmans. Based on the urban legend, this cryptid is a mutated creature that isn't easy to kill. The Mothman is a rare enemy that was added with the Steel Reign update, and there's a good chance you might encounter this enemy when going to The Purveyor or exploring the region.
