The '''great purple emperor''' (known as the '''purple butterfly''' prior to {{NH|short}}){{Note|{{Nihongo foot|オオムラサキ|Oomurasaki}}}} is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}}. It first appeared in {{DnM}}. After {{DnMe+}}, the great purple emperor would remain absent from the series until {{PC}}, when it was available for a limited time as part of the [[All Aflutter Butterfly Goals]] event. It would later make an appearance in {{NH}}. Unlike all other butterflies, it will occasionally stop flapping its wings and glide through the air.

The great purple emperor (known as the purple butterfly prior to New Horizons)[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series. It first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori. After Doubutsu no Mori e+, the great purple emperor would remain absent from the series until Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, when it was available for a limited time as part of the All Aflutter Butterfly Goals event. It would later make an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Unlike all other butterflies, it will occasionally stop flapping its wings and glide through the air.

In the games that the great purple emperor appears in, it is a rare bug that the player can encounter, and can be found flying near flowers. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught from late spring to the end of summer.

In Animal Crossing[edit]

"There's an old saying among some of my contemporaries: "Butterflies are beautiful, yet moths are monstrous." Well, if you were to ask me, I'd say they were all the same! By which I mean disgusting! Truly hoo-rrific, wot wot!"

In New Horizons[edit]

"The great purple emperor lives high in the treetops and is renowned for its pretty purple-hued wings. Its impressive bird-like wingspan and elusive nature have made it a favorite among butterfly aficionados. But truth be told, the so-called great purple emperor has some not-so-great personal peculiarities. For one...it has two horrid HORNS upon its head when it is in its caterpillar form. For two...it has been known to dine on feces and animal carcasses! Hoo! That's why I call it the Emperor of EWWW!"

When donated, the great purple emperor can be found flying between the trees in the main room of the bug exhibit, being one of the few butterflies not found in the butterfly room.
