'''Butterflies''' are a common sight in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first seen in the intro of [[Green Greens]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. In particular, butterflies with a distinct red and orange coloration are recurring atmospheric background characters that are typically seen in cutscenes, especially those at the start and end of a game. These butterflies were first seen in the opening and ending cutscenes of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and have appeared in all mainline ''Kirby'' games since. In both of [[Morpho Knight]]'s appearances, it initially appears to be such a butterfly, but then takes the form of a knight after absorbing a powerful being.

It is unclear if the butterflies that appear in cutscenes are the same entity as each other and/or Morpho Knight. In the ending of ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', two red and orange butterflies appear on-screen at the same time, showing that there are multiple of them. Notably, the description of the Morpho Knight [[figure]] in the Japanese version of ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' uses the term "一頭の夢見鳥", which can be translated as "a butterfly" or "one of the butterflies", but it could also mean "the lone butterfly" or "the one butterfly". When asked if the butterflies were all the same, [[Shinya Kumazaki]] said he didn't want to confirm or deny it, and commented on how often certain aspects of the world of ''Kirby'' are left up to interpretation, so that each player can experience the games in their own ways.<ref>Nintendo DREAM June 2023 interview ([https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2024/04/18/translation-of-the-kirbys-return-to-dream-land-deluxe-interview-from-the-june-2023-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ translation])</ref>
