'''Lucent Moths''' are small flying creatures of Light that first appeared not long after [[Savathûn]] managed to gain control over the Light. However, unlike the Lightbearer Hive, the generic Hive of the Lucent Brood remained as they are, but the Witch Queen managed to grant them a measure of the Light's power within her Throne World. Appearing similar to a moth, the Lucent Moths provide a measure of shielding for the Hive foot-soldiers of the Lucent Brood, making them more dangerous than their counterparts of the other Hive sects, and acting as flying bombs when no Hive are available to protect.

{{quote|Incredible. The Hives' own bodies transform Light into a parasite! What a wondrous adaptation!|Krill}}
Lucent Moths are a byproduct of the existence of Lightbearer Hive. Hive biology treats the Light in their bodies as an infection, causing disease-like symptoms such as headaches, mood swings, and insomnia, and generates an immune response that attempts to isolate it into cysts. However, the properties of Light end up organizing and transforming the encysted Light, sebum, and immune cells into a wholly new and separate organism, more energy than biology, which eventually hatches from the cyst. This life cycle was discovered by the [[Ghost#Hive Ghosts|Hive Ghost]] [[Krill]], although the discovery was credited to their Lightbearer, [[Ubartu-ana]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Krill|Lucent Tales: Krill]]''</ref>
