Flutterlings

Flutterlings are a species created by WikiGirl99. They are the first NEW fanon species after the original setup.

Appearance
Flutterlings resemble Inklings/Cephalopods with butterfly shaped wings. It is unknown if these wings are fins like Skylings, or a different substance attached via magic.

Powers
Flutterlings can fly via magic, though they have thin butterfly wings to control direction. They can also use their squid/cephalopod form.

A weakness of theirs is that these wings are thin, so they're easily damageable/tearable. There is no known way to fix an injured wing other than healing magic, though one must be careful with it because they are delicate. If rushed with healing, the wings may become crookedly shaped, which is not ideal for flying.

History/Creation
The beta concept was that a magic forest created a crystal and an Inkling touched it to get wings, along with others who found similar crystals and touched them as well.

The altered and improved story was that a meteor coming from a butterfly-themed planet crashed into a forest, and anyone that touched the crystals inside got magic wings. However, if something bad were to happen to the meteor, all the wings would disappear and all Flutterlings would return to their original species. This story is similar to the "Sky Orb" theory in the sense that a magical object is granting powers that would not be achievable by natural means, and if said magic object is destroyed, the powers for all who interacted with the object will be gone.
