Beastly butterflies who disrupt their enemies with Dazzle, then dash off at the first sign of trouble.

They're adamant that it's not their faces that look like mortals', it's mortals' faces that look like theirs.

Trivia[edit]

  • The batterfly has similarities to the Hitōban (飛頭蛮), a Chinese monster that separates its head from the rest of its body and floats about with its giant ears as wings and the Chonchón, a mythical creature from South America that takes the form of a human head with an unusually large pair of ears that function as wings.
