The '''Betterfly''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is a venomous, teal-coloured variant of the [[Batterfly]] that is known to prey upon humans.


The '''Betterflies''' are teal versions of the Batterfly, and are known to prey upon [[human]]s.
==Characteristics==
{{Clear}}
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.

}}*During [[Template:DQIXQuest/24|Quest #24]]: Battering Betterflies, a farmer named George has asked the player to scare away ten betterflies from battle in the fields near [[Zere]]. If at least one character in the party is level 25 or higher, the betterflies will eventually flee on their own if the entire party defends on each turn. This quest can be repeated as many times as desired.
