Scientific Name: Papilio tintinnabulum (unconfirmed)
Common Name: Chimewing Butterfly
Classification: Lepidopteran Fauna — Exotic Realm Species
Description:
Chimewings are ethereal butterflies with cracked-glass-like diaphanous wings tipped with tiny silver bells. Their flight is graceful and silent, gliding on air currents without visible wing beats. When disturbed, the bells produce a sound perceptible only internally to the observer.
Known Effects on Humans:
Witnesses report feelings of intense awe, nostalgia, or longing after encountering Chimewings.
Folklore connects Chimewings to lost dancers or spirits of halted performances.
In some cases, an encounter predicts an unforgettable emotional event (positive or traumatic).
Believed to influence memories of affection or romantic attachment.
Behavioral Notes:
Chimewings rarely settle, preferring to glide endlessly in ritualistic arcs.
Their internal bell sound can induce mild hallucinations or heightened emotional states in sensitive individuals.
Often seen near sites of artistic significance, especially dance halls or mirrored stages.
Warnings / Dangers:
Contact or prolonged observation may precipitate obsessive longing or emotional fixation.
Those who feel a Chimewing land on their lips often develop intense interpersonal attachments, sometimes resulting in psychological distress.
Recommended mindfulness and avoidance for individuals with unstable emotional histories.
