==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Betterflies are large, unusual [[Bug family|moth]]s with a teal, cartoonish dog-like face at the center of their bodies, their maws filled with sharp fangs that they use to bite with. Their wings are dark green with orange spots. In the remake versions of ''Dragon Quest III'', as well as ''Stars'', the betterflies have a completely different colour scheme, having purple wings, bright green heads, and pink lips. Like their lesser blue cousins, betterflies are able to envelop enemies in illusions by casting '''Dazzle''', and then poison them with their venomous fangs.
