History
Butterfly debut as a creature type in Visions for the token created by Giant Caterpillar. During development of the Mirage block releases on Magic Online, R&D took the position that reprinting cards digitally allowed them to update the creature types of those cards to better support tribal strategies. This resulted in an errata update to Giant Caterpillar so it created an Insect token named "Butterfly" instead.[1]
The type was reintroduced in March of the Machine.[2]
