Butterbuds are a graceful species, taking on the appearance of different plants they can easily blend into their environment and help avoid detection from predators. They are curious animals, but are smart enough to know when to keep their distance. Many seek out the species, believing an age old tall tale of them bestowing eternal youth and beauty to those clever enough to find them.
They have a large bulb above their tails, which spouts when the butterbud reaches a certain age (some sprout sooner than others, and some of them later in life!) Depending on their environment at the time, they can sprout a variety of plants and flowers. Sometimes, the current mood of the butterbud influences the kind of plant it can sprout into. More intense emotions can make the butterbud turn into a more defensive creature, sprouting plants like cactus's, roses, and thistles.
