Morpho Knight also known as Reborn Butterfly or Dark-Winged Disaster is a fusion of Galacta Knight and the Butterfly that appears in the main Kirby platformers, debuting in Kirby Star Allies. He is said to have formed when ”the greatest warrior in the galaxy“, a being twisted by his dark past, came in contact with the symbol of purity. He is the final Boss of the "Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!" mode.

Appearance[]

Morpho Knight strongly resembles Meta Knight. He wears red armour and has white eyes and an orange mask in his normal form. His body underneath his armour and mask are black, and his sword is red. Many of his animations give him butterfly particle effects. His EX form changes his eye colour to red, and his armour to black.

Kirby series[]

Kirby Star Allies[]

Morpho Knight appears immediately after Hyness falls in combat. When he makes his entrance, Galacta Knight comes from a swirling portal, His battle is cut short and the Butterfly then approaches and land on his spear before absorbing him, leading to his transformation into Morpho Knight. Like Galacta Knight and Meta Knight, Morpho Knight is able to use his sword to block attacks. He is also able to teleport. In his second phase, he summons two flamming swords that can be enlarged to cover a lot of the screen (In his EX form, he summons holes that can suck you in which can prevent you from dodging his swords). Morpho Knight also has the ability to emit a soundwave that will take control of the Allies. He can also counterattack in his EX form. When he is downed, Morpho Knight gracefully disintegrates into butterflies.

Super Kirby Clash[]

In Super Kirby Clash, the level 14 equipment of the Sword Hero is based on Morpho Knight. The weapon is a direct replica of Morpho Knight's sword while the armor is based on his helmet.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]

Morpho Knight appears as a boss in Kirby and the Forgotten Land's postgame world, Isolated Isles. His attacks in this battle involve him summoning fire tornados on the battlefield and his sound waves now disorient Kirby (represented by the screen being tilted). When he is defeated, he surrenders the blueprints for the Morpho Knight Sword, which gives Kirby a sword similar to the one that Morpho Knight wields.

Morpho Knight is also encountered in the penultimate round of the Ultimate Cup Z in the Colosseum, his battle replacing Fecto Forgo in the Ultimate Cup and preceding Chaos Elfilis, who replaces Fecto Elfilis.
