Moonbluster (Terran myth)

Moonbluster, also called Blustermoon, Blusterymoon, Moon-bluster, or Moon Bluster, is a character in Proto-Terran Mythology and its associated religions. It is a parasite that infected Moon as a result of her mistreatment of the Great Flower and threatens to someday consume her completely, hatch from the Moon, and destroy the world.

Origin
Moonbluster is depicted as various parasites common on the Terran continent which salticids often have to contend with. Conceptually, it represents an end-of-the-world scenario which motivates believers to stay loyal to the gods, in the expectation that someday they will need to seek the gods' protection from Moonbluster.

In the ancestral Terran language, a bluster is a ghost, demon, or spirit, making Moonbluster literally mean 'the malevolent spirit associated with Moon.'

Interpretations
Most salticids consider Moonbluster to be a myth, and view it in the same cultural lens that humans view the boogeyman - as a theoretical threat to children gullible enough to believe that it might come for them. However, Documentist canon holds that Moonbluster is a real threat which will one day end the world, and deeply religious Documentists believe it will hatch and destroy everything during the end times.
