why did you unbold it? all articles should have it. also, the trivia point, while worded not in the best way, is valid. i think that the morpho knight butterfly started as a reference to that butterfly, nothing else, and only later they decided to make it reappear more, only eventually become morpho knight

Butterflies are a common sight in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], but one particular red and orange butterfly is a reoccurring character through the series, which is typically seen in cut-scenes. It was first seen in the opening cut-scene for ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and made its most recent appearance in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. It is unknown what the true nature of this butterfly is, other than it twice showing the ability to transform into [[Morpho Knight]]. While many theories abound, it is currently [[List of mysteries|an enigma]], though it was commonly seen as just an insignificant entity until its role in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | Butterflies are a common sight in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], but one particular red and orange '''butterfly''' is a reoccurring character through the series, which is typically seen in cut-scenes.

The butterfly is rather small, with a total length comparable to one of [[Kirby]]'s eyes, though it has been shown to be much larger when it goes after [[Galacta Knight]] in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]]. Its wings are consistently depicted as yellow-orange on their insides and red on their edges, though whether the wings smoothly fade from red to orange or have a hard separation between them varies. The butterfly's body is mainly orange. | The butterfly is rather small, with a total length comparable to one of [[Kirby]]'s eyes, though it has been shown to be much larger when it goes after [[Galacta Knight]] in [[Guest Star ????

The butterfly appears in the Story Mode intro cut-scene, flying around [[Whispy Woods]] while the [[Jamba Heart]] pieces are raining down on Popstar. It may also appear over the bottom-right waters on the world map of [[Dream Land | The butterfly appears in the Story Mode intro cut-scene, flying around [[Whispy Woods]] while the [[Jamba Heart]] pieces are raining down on Popstar.

It later appears at the end of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]]. Here, after [[Hyness]] is defeated at [[The Divine Terminus]], [[Galacta Knight]] emerges from a portal and prepares to face down the allies. Just after his title card, the butterfly flutters down, now glowing ominously. It lands gently on Galacta Knight's lance and shortly after, causes this greatest warrior in the galaxy to be vaporized. It then absorbs this power and morphs into the knight of the underworld, [[Morpho Knight]], before attacking the allies. | It later appears at the end of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]].

The butterfly makes a brief appearance in the opening cutscene. Here, it can be seen being sucked into the dimensional rift along with [[Kirby]] and the [[Waddle Dee]]s. The butterfly later appears in [[Forgo Land]] at the end of [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]], where it flies in and lands on [[Fecto Forgo|Soul Forgo]], transforming into Morpho Knight. | The butterfly makes a brief appearance in the opening cutscene.

==Trivia== | |||
*A similar looking butterfly appears in the intro of [[Green Greens]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. That butterfly has slighty different color shade, so it's unknown whether these butterflies actually are the same being. However, it could be possible that the Morpho Knight butterfly is a reference to it. | |||
