After Galacta Knight, the greatest warrior in the galaxy, emerges from the dimensional rift created by Hyness, a butterfly flutters down from another dimension and resonates with the “screams of the many years spent living” that Galacta Knight has brought with him. Morpho Knight appears as the final boss of Guest Star ? Star Allies Go!, with the boss title of Reborn Butterfly. This section contains information that does not coincide with the main series canon. In Japanese mythology, butterflies are often associated with death and spirits, where they are sometimes believed to be guides of the spirits of the dead that take them to the afterlife, akin to a psychopomp, and seeing as how Morpho Knight is a butterfly, this appears to further its association with death. Additionally, according to the Japanese version of Morpho Knight's Gotcha Figurine description, there are multiple butterflies of judgement, describing the butterfly that appears in Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams as "one of the butterflies." Morpho Knight itself is seemingly formed only when a butterfly of judgement absorbs a very powerful soul. The butterfly is also stated to have the ability to cross dimensions into other worlds. This essentially means that the butterfly is an ethereal being of judgement that decides the fate of the souls of the dead. The butterfly that is seen before Morpho Knight’s birth is described as a “butterfly of paradise." It is said to appear after something perishes, arriving to bring about judgement day. While most information is left ambiguous and mysterious in the English versions of Morpho Knight and Morpho Knight EX’s pause screen descriptions in Kirby Star Allies, the Japanese versions give more details about what Morpho Knight actually is. In its initial appearance in Kirby Star Allies, Morpho Knight lacked arms its Kirby and the Forgotten Land appearance gives it arms like Meta Knight and Galacta Knight. Its blade also has an eye that resembles the ones that mark Void Termina's weak points. While Morpho Knight EX's physical features remain the same as its original incarnation, the color scheme has been altered to a mostly black body with a red blade, red eyes and wings, and purple highlights on its mask and shoes. What appears to be a gemstone can be seen on the handle, which has a thin black line across it, giving it a similar appearance to a snake's eye. It wields a sword that looks similar to Galaxia, but it has a red and gold coloration with a butterfly pattern on its handle, with blue spots on both sides of the tip of the sword. It has red sparkling butterfly wings on its back. Its mask has horns which resemble antennae. Its armor is red with black ornamentations and white shoulder pads with a red swirl on both of them. Morpho Knight is a spherical creature with black skin, white glowing eyes and no mouth.
