Goddess Butterfly
Goddess Butterflies are Animals and Objects in Hyrule Warriors.[1][name references needed]
Characteristics
Goddess Butterflies are blue Butterflies capable of locating paths to anywhere or anyone they are asked to find.[1] They emit a blue aura as they fly. Agitha states that Goddess Butterflies are not of a poisonous genus.[2]
A Goddess Butterfly appears in the "Land of Twilight" Scenario, under the ownership of Agitha. After Lana saves the girl from a group of Bulblins, Agitha offers to help find the Gate of Souls by using her Goddess Butterfly to guide the Hyrulean Forces through the Twilight Realm.[3] The Hyrulean Forces follow the Butterfly until they are confronted by Midna, who seizes the Butterfly, believing it to be poisoning her Forces.[4] When she learns otherwise that the Butterfly can guide people to anywhere it is asked, Midna decides to use the Butterfly to locate Cia,[5] who cursed Midna into her imp form prior.[6] The seizure of the Butterfly forces the Hyrulean Forces to fight Midna's Forces. After Lana defeats her, Midna relinquishes the Butterfly back to Agitha and joins the Hyrulean Forces after learning they are not with Cia.[7]
Later, in "The Shadow King" Scenario, the same Goddess Butterfly leads the Hyrulean Forces to the Palace of Twilight's Fairy Fountain after an Argorok returns for the third time to attack the Allied Base.[8][9] The Butterfly's guidance brings the Hyrulean Forces' attention to a Magic Circle there, which summons the Great Fairy.
Goddess Butterflies also appear on certain battle squares on the Adventure Map as an obstacle in Adventure Mode. Some squares will have their Enemies hidden and cannot be played until a Goddess's Harp Item Card is used on the swarm of Goddess Butterflies. Playing the Goddess's Harp on them makes a Gossip Stone appear, revealing the battle's Enemies.
Trivia
- The Goddess Butterflies are nearly identical to the Blessed Butterflies of Skyward Sword. Both are blue Butterflies that gather where secrets are hidden, which may be revealed by playing the Goddess's Harp near them.
- According to Agitha, the Goddess Butterfly she owns is a female.[8]
