==Appearances==
===Alice in Wonderland===
Absolem seems to be Underland's oracle. When there is a problem or uncertainty, Absolem is who the characters in Underland go to for answers. He is the keeper of the Oraculum; a compendium of Wonderland's history.
Absolem appears in the real world on two separate occasions. One is in caterpillar form when Alice is proposed to by Hamish. When Alice notices a caterpillar on Hamish's shoulder, she, being the "gentle giant" she is (compared to Absolem), rescues Absolem by placing him on the gazebo. Later, when she stands on a ship bound for China, she sees him in butterfly form and she recognizes him by name.
===Alice Through the Looking Glass===
Absolem returns in this film, still in his butterfly form with Alan Rickman reprising his role. It is to noted here that this was Alan Rickman's last work before his death.
When Alice returns to London, she notices Absolem, who guides her to a looking glass. After passing through the looking glass and encountering the dangers within, Absolem appears and informs her of the circumstances of his appearance. Before she leaves into Underland, he warns her to watch her step.
