What initially looked like an ordinary butterfly is actually the size of a human child as you approach it. Its enormous red compound eyes stare at you unblinkingly as it flaps in place.
Butterfrees are dangerous and beautiful. Resembling child-sized butterflies, Butterfrees have a significant wingspan and individualized color scheme. Once they break free of their pod, Butterfrees become massively more intelligent, and gain magical powers.
Butterfrees go on migrations in order to avoid cold winter nights and to mate. Every Butterfree instinctively knows where to go so that the breeding grounds can be filled with Caterpies again next year.
Combat[edit]
Butterfree can hover indefinitely, and are skilled at attacking ground-based targets. Usually a Butterfree likes to combat groups, where its confusion ability comes into its own. Butterfrees are relatively fragile in melee and avoid it whenever possible.
Confusion (Sp): A Butterfree can use confusion as a Sorcerer of a level equal to its hit dice (DC 16 + Charisma Modifier), at will.
Poison Powder (Ex): Creatures who remain within close proximity (20 ft.) of a Butterfree for 2 consecutive rounds are exposed to Insanity Mist unless they do not breathe during that period (either because they do not normally breathe or because they voluntarily hold their breath). Butterfree can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.
