Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. |

Useful Info
Butterflies are harmless flying monsters that are fragile but difficult to hit. They most often appear when using the Summon Butterflies spell or sometimes after reading a scroll of random uselessness as friendly creatures, but "hostile" butterflies can be encountered throughout the Dungeon, as well as in the Shoals. They offer no XP or corpse upon death.
Tips & Tricks
- Polymorphing a butterfly can turn it into something worth XP, but so little that it's probably not worth the effort.
- Killing a butterfly clears the line of sight, if you don't want them obstructing your ranged attacks in the area. Of course, if there's a hostile in the area, this is sometimes a reason to keep them around.
- If you absolutely need one dead fast, Magic Dart or a wand of magic darts will overcome its EV without fail.
- Some gods accept butterfly kills for the purposes of raising piety. While Okawaru sees no glory in swatting bugs, Kikubaaqudgha is more than happy to see them die.
