Fae creatures are a staple in the world of fantasy. Though their depiction has changed through out the ages, their allure remains as solid as a mighty oak. Fae creatures in more recent works are depicted as having an otherworldly beauty, often with butterfly wings and an ethereal demeanor. In the past, however, they've been known to be mean-spirited tricksters who delighted in befuddling any human unlucky enough to cross their path.

Oberon, the Faerie King of the Abyss (from Fate/Grand Order) has angelic beauty that contrasts with his slightly devilish nature.

Butterflies are perhaps best known for their various vividly colored wings.

Adding these wings to humanoid characters gives them an otherworldly aura that can be either serene or sinister depending on the color scheme chosen.

The King of the Fae himself, Oberon (from Fate/Grand Order), wouldn’t have the same regal and mythical atmosphere without his colorful butterfly wings.
