|Desc = The {{Nihongo|'''Mothman'''|モスマン|Mosuman}} is a man with giant black wings resembling a moth. Around five years after the incident with the vampire [[Alejandro Torres]] in {{W|La Palma}}, the Mothman is created from people's fear of confinement. On the night of the Torres case, villagers were forced to stay locked in their houses. Seventy of those villagers become afraid something like that would happen again, and when they gather together their fears feed off each other.

In the middle of the night, these villagers see the Mothman. They all gather at La Palma's only church and frantically cover the walls with drawings of the creature. The villagers then burn down the walls of the church, but continue drawing using the ashes from the fire and their own fingers as charcoal sticks.

The Mothman tells all of them the same line: "Close your eyes, lie down, and think about tomorrow". As a result, the villagers are left in a state of fear thinking that they are going to die.<ref name="JORGE3" />

The Mothman also appears in the 37th universe. Citizens of [[Morioh]] gather at a temple in Jozenji and start covering the walls and floors with drawings of the Mothman. They were trying to get the drawings right but felt none of the drawings did him justice, so they had to try again. [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]] describes it as having two burly legs, a large head, and eyes staring out at whoever sees it. The villagers would soak each other with gasoline while the walls burned down, leaving themselves to die while they continued drawing. [[Rohan Kishibe]]{{Universe|37|Rohan Kishibe}} states that they sought after beauty, trying to make the Mothman appear symmetrical like he really is.
