(I think the fact that Morpho Knight is a merger of the recurring butterfly and Galacta Knight, even though it's not stated, is heavily implied.)

Morpho Knight is a boss appearing in Kirby Star Allies. He is the final boss of the Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! mode. He is implied to be the merged form of Galacta Knight and the recurring butterfly.

Physical Appearance

Morpho Knight is a spherical creature with black skin, white glowing eyes and no mouth. He has yellow shoes and gloves. His armor is red with black ornamentations and white sholder pads with a red swirl on both of them. His mask has horns which seem to be antennae. He has red butterfly wings on his back that sparkle. He 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 both on the handle and the tip of the sword.

Battle

Morpho Knight acts just like a regular Knight, using sword attacks. If a friend has a Sword ability, they can deflect his sword attacks by attacking him, making their swords clash and causing him to flinch. However, there's one big difference about him: he can teleport. Not only that, but it seems his sword has the fire element imbued, of that it changes anything. In his second phase, he can create two swords, he then teleports to one side of the screen and enlarges one of his swords. He then swings it forward, damaging anyone behind him and in front of him. He then does the same on the other side. After that, he teleports to the center and enlarges both swords and swings them down on each side. He can also teleport around the arena and make strange noises from his wings that release shockwaves. The shockwaves can turn friends on each other, and a Friend Heart must be thrown at them to return them to your side. Another attack that Morpho Knight has in his second phase is flying to both sides of the screen, charging his sword, and emitting two giant ghostly faces, in what seems to be a parallel to Meta Knight's Mach Tornadoes.

Etymology

Morpho Knight's name has a double meaning. Morpho is a genus of tropical butterflies. The word morph means to transform, which may allude to the fact he transforms from a butterfly.
