Butterfly Description

The Butterfly is a Mythical Pet introduced in the Friendship Update.

The Butterfly has 26,000 hunger.

How to Obtain

The Butterfly can be obtained from the Anti Bee Egg, which can be crafted at the Cosmetics Shop in 2 hours for:

- Bee Egg is still obtainable by the Honey Merchant. So players cannot get it until they have more honey or buy it with Robux

Alternatively, the butterfly used to be obtainable by purchasing the Premium Anti Bee Egg for 149 Robux

Appearance

The Butterfly has a long, narrow purple body with a slightly rounded head and several small, evenly spaced black legs underneath. Its wings are large and angular, extending outward in a symmetrical "V" shape. Each wing is light purple and decorated with two vertical black rectangles near the center and four orange circular markings closer to the tips. The wings are flat and wide, with sharp corners and a stepped, block-like shape. The entire model has a clean, geometric design that emphasizes symmetry and stylized detail.

Did You Know?

This section is a trivia section.

1. Gold and Silver are Variants, not an Environmental Mutation so it won't work if it has only 4 Environmental Mutation and 1 Variant.

2. The Butterfly is one of the only four pets that can apply growth-variant mutations to plants. The second one being the Dragonfly, the third one being the Golden Bee and the fourth one being the Cockatrice.

3. Despite having an "only" 50x multiplier, Rainbow is the best mutation in the game. All Environmental Mutations are multiplied by Variants, meaning that the the 50x Rainbow value of the fruit acts as it's base value, and all other Mutations therefore become 50x more valuable as well.

How It Works

Every ~30m, flies to a nearby fruit with 5+ mutations, removes all Crop Mutations from it and turns it Rainbow! (Ignores favorited fruit).

The formula is as follows:

t cooldown = 30 min − 0.3 × ( W e i g h t − 0.5 ) {\displaystyle t_{\text{cooldown}}=30_{\text{min}}-0.3\times (Weight-0.5)}

Butterfly Value

Wondering how much is the Butterfly worth? We estimate that the current trading value of the Butterfly is 400Sx sheckles, with the value of the Huge mutation being 75Q+ sheckles.

Best For

Rainbow mutation application - Only pet that can convert 5+ mutations into Rainbow
Maximizing crop value - Rainbow acts as base multiplier for all other mutations
End-game mutation strategy - Essential for highest-value crop productions
Myth-tier rarity farming - 1% hatch rate but retains value due to utility

Pro Strategies

Mathematical Rainbow Advantage

Understand why Rainbow > All Other Mutations Combined:

• All mutations are added together into one total number

• Rainbow multiplies that entire total by 50x

• Example: 10 mutations worth 100x total × Rainbow 50x = 5,000x value. This makes losing 5 mutations to gain Rainbow always profitable mathematically.

Optimal Mutation Setup

Prepare crops with exactly 5+ environmental mutations for conversion:

• Plant mutation bait crops around your garden

• Let mutations accumulate to 5+ on targeted fruits

• Unfavorite target crops so Butterfly can select them. The 30-minute cooldown (reduced by weight) ensures regular Rainbow applications for consistent value farming.

Alternatives

Budget: Dragonfly for Gold mutation

Cost: Divine rarity vs Mythical, but only applies Gold (not Rainbow)

Tradeoff: Gold 25x multiplier vs Rainbow 50x multiplier

Common Mistakes

Favoriting target fruits - Butterfly ignores favorited crops
Undervaluing 1% hatch rate - Rainbow utility maintains high value despite rarity
Not accumulating 5+ mutations - Butterfly requires minimum mutation count to activate
Focusing on other mutations first - Rainbow should be priority over environmental mutations

Advanced Tips

Rainbow is mathematically goated - Community consensus on best mutation
Even 1% hatch rate maintains value - Utility outweighs rarity concerns
Weight reduces cooldown - Heavier Butterfly applies Rainbow more frequently
Gold/Silver don't count - Butterfly needs 5+ environmental mutations, not growth variants
