Opaline blue swallowtail butterfly

An opaline blue swallowtail butterfly is an automated NPC that flies around Cysaegir. It spends most of its time flitting about the town aimlessly. It is only found during the day.

Description

The large insect has a thin, segmented body covered in a velvety black fur and two long, curving antennae that end in curled tips.  The butterfly's wings are a brilliant, iridescent turquoise blue with a thick black border and thin ebon veining.  Jutting from the rounded bottom edges of both wings are the ornate feather-like protrusions that give the creature its name.
