This elusive kind of Soquili is smaller in size and are usually found fluttering around flowers and other plants. Their wings can resemble any type of flying insect such as butterflies, beetles, etc. In addition to eating normal grasses like other soquili, they can also dine on the sweet necter found in flowers. By doing this, they help spread pollen between plants. The Kawani people credit them for helping their crops grow, so that everyone in the Kawani village has enough to eat.
They are the only kind of soquili that can manipulate their size at will, but only if they have enough energy to sustain it. Normally, flutter Soquili are the size of small ponies. However, they can also change their size to shrink to the size of a tiny butterfly, or grow to the regular size Soquili (to breed with other kinds), though they still tend to be on the smaller end of the size range. It is tough on younger flutters to hold their size but older ones can hold it longer. An elder could hold their changed size for days if desired. Foals, only seconds.
Flutters cannot fly as high as a Wind or Angeni Soquili since their wings are not as strong. They can usually only fly just above the tree tops, and usually not for a very long time. They can fly the longest in their tiny size, because it requires much less relative energy. When flying for longer distances, they usually have to stop and rest periodically and collect nectar from plants for added energy. When changing to their full-soquili size, they can't fly at all because their wings cannot support their mass.
Flutters tend to be a cheerful, capricious breed. Many have their heads proverbially in the clouds and are dreamers, or otherwise fey-like personalities. They can be pranksters, but generally only pull harmless tricks. They also tend to be wanderers - drifting along the winds and finding all sorts of new sights and wonders, meeting and befriending other soquili before moving on once again. However, it can be hard to stereotype flutters, as their personalities can be quite varied.
