==Useful Info==
'''Butterflies''' are harmless flying monsters that are fragile, but difficult to hit. They most often appear when using a [[scroll of butterflies]], but "hostile" butterflies can be encountered throughout the Dungeon and [[the Lair]]. Butterflies wander around aimlessly, as if they were [[confuse]]d. They offer no [[XP]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*A scroll of butterflies can be used to block line of fire and distract attackers. Butterflies are [[ev]]asive, though, so projectiles may pass through the butterflies and hit you.
*[[Polymorph]]ing a non-summoned butterfly can turn it into something worth XP, but so little that it's probably not worth the wand charge.
*Hostile butterflies will also block line of fire, so killing it will let your shots (and enemies') pass through. If you absolutely need one dead fast, [[Magic Dart]] or any EV-ignoring will kill it without fail.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.31]], butterflies had 15 EV and 10 willpower.
*Prior to [[0.29]], butterflies had 25 EV.
*Prior to [[0.26]], the spell [[Summon Butterflies]] existed.
*Prior to [[0.19]], reading a [[scroll of random uselessness]] could summon butterflies.
*Prior to [[0.15]], [[evil gods]] accepted butterfly kills for the purposes of raising [[piety]].

They used to leave [[corpse]]s and even skeletons, which could be raised as undead. This created amusing [[zombie]]s that were incredibly fast but lacked any means of attack.
