Killer Moth

Killer Moth (キラーモス) is a moth enemy from Mega Man X6, seen only in the Amazon Area, Commander Yammark's stage. It stays still in one corner when there are no threats nearby, but when it senses the presence of X or Zero, it will fly towards them and drop purple sparkles which cause damage. They are relatively easy to destroy and only serve as annoyance, particularly in the spike-filled part of the stage.

Trivia

 * In a prototype version, Killer Moths are seen releasing yellow sparkles instead of purple.
 * The Killer Moth's sparkle attack is similar to one of Morph Moth's attacks.
 * This enemy shares its name with a monster from the Dragon Quest series. Fittingly, both debut in the sixth game of their respective series.
