The Corellian butterfly was a type of butterfly that inhabited the swampy regions of Corellia. Notable features included a lengthy tail equipped with a stinger, and exceptionally large wings.
A classification of Corellian butterflies reveals various castes: drones, workers, warriors, defenders, and monarchs. In contrast to the peaceful nature of the drones, the defenders exhibited aggressive tendencies.
The flesh of the Corellian butterfly was edible. Instructions on the optimal preparation of this meat were provided in the cookbook Essential Cooking Skills.
The video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony and distributed by LucasArts, featured Corellian butterflies before the game's termination on December 15, 2011.
