Moths are new to Sky, full of curiosity and wonder. They often:
Get lost in the realms, mesmerized by the beautiful skies.
Spam calls, hoping someone will guide them.
Excitedly flap their wings but struggle to fly straight.
Try to befriend everyone they see.
Accidentally waste candles on random players instead of spirits.
Despite their clumsiness, moths bring fresh energy to Sky and remind others of their first journey. Most experienced players love helping moths!
Butterflies bring warmth and positivity, making Sky a more magical place for everyone.
Veterans have mastered the game and often take on the role of guides or candle farmers. They:
Effortlessly speed-run realms and know every hidden wing.
Carry moths through Eden and protect them from krills.
Have every emote and outfit from past seasons.
Know how to glitch through walls and explore beyond boundaries.
Have experienced Eden trauma but still go back to help others.
They are the wise mentors of Sky, always ready to lend a hand (or wing) to those in need.
Ikemen (cool/good-looking guys) and Ikejou (cool/good-looking girls) are the stylish players of Sky. They:
Always wear the most fashionable capes, hairstyles, and masks.
Love standing in Home just to flex their cosmetics.
Master the art of making their Sky kid look aesthetic.
Are often seen dancing or posing in Sanctuary.
Join social events, concerts, and fan gatherings.
They may not always be the best at navigating realms, but they definitely know how to stand out in a crowd!

Krills are giant, aggressive creatures in Sky: Children of the Light that patrol Wasteland, hunting down players with their glowing red searchlights. They are terrifying because they move unpredictably, strike fast, and can knock out your winged light, forcing you to restart or lose progress.
