Cane

* Monarch
* Betterfly
* Ladyfly
* Scarlet Moth

Ancient European Butterfly Miraculous holder (previously; when she was still alive)
Other Butterfly Miraculous holders

The **Cane** is the tool of the Butterfly Miraculous.

The current owner of the Cane is Cerise after she acquired the Butterfly Miraculous in "Re-creation".

It was previously owned by Gabriel Agreste when he became the villain **Hawk Moth**, **Shadow Moth**, and finally **Monarch**.

In the alternate universe in Miraculous World: Paris - Tales of Shadybug & Claw Noir it is used by Betterfly and Ladyfly.

## Appearance

The cane is dark indigo and smooth. There is a round stone with black lines within a cylinder on top. There is also a silver sword inside the cane, with the round stone and cylinder being its hilt and pommel. The cane is roughly half as tall as it's wielder.

In Betterfly's possession, it is light purple with a light purple butterfly symbol on the stone which replaces the black lines.

## Abilities

The cane contains a hidden blade, making it a swordstick/cane-sword for combat and defense, as shown in "Robostus". The blade is sharp enough to slice a missile cleanly in half. It can also be wielded as a blunt melee weapon.

The stone on the cane can hold an akuma if its object is destroyed, but the akuma isn't purified, as Hawk Moth does with the Akuma used for Ivan Bruel in "Ladybug & Cat Noir". Once the original victim is vulnerable again, as seen with Ivan in the next episode, the wielder releases the akuma.

Like all Miraculous tools, the cane is virtually indestructible. So far, only Cataclysm has been shown to be capable of damaging or destroying it.

In "Catalyst", the cane serves as Hawk Moth's power source after receiving enhancement from Catalyst. With it, he can turn butterflies into akumas by tapping them with it, summoning infinite amounts of akumas seemingly out of nowhere and directing his Scarlet Army by raising it. Once it is destroyed, however, the scarlet akumas revert to normal butterflies.

In "Backwarder", it is revealed that the cane has the power to keep the butterflies that Hawk Moth uses to create his akumas.

In "Miraculer", it’s revealed that the cane can be used as a phone by opening the stone at the top.

In "Cat Blanc", it is revealed that the cane can be summoned to the wielder's hand if they lose it, though only if they are in relatively close proximity to the cane itself.

## Trivia

* *Canne de combat*, translated from French to cane fighting, is a martial arts style created in France. Hawk Moth has displayed a few of the techniques involved when he spins his cane before slamming it on the ground.
* It's the first Miraculous tool not used as a mode of transportation.
	+ The cane is also the fourth Miraculous tool that can be used for communication, following Ladybug's yo-yo, Cat Noir's staff, and Queen Bee's spinning top.
* The cane is the first Miraculous tool be an amokized object.
	+ It's also the first amokized object to be used to create multiple sentimonsters (the Butterfly Sentimonster in "Mayura" and "Miracle Queen", Sentialec and Sentinino in "Optigami", Hack-San in the episode of the same name, and Strikeback in "Risk").
* In "Backwarder", the butterfly in the cane is a normal butterfly, and Hawk Moth infects it with energy before sending it out. However, in all other instances ("Cat Blanc", "Heart Hunter", "Miracle Queen", "Miraculous New York", "Miraculous Shanghai", "Optigami", "Ephemeral", "Deflagration"), it is already an akuma, and Hawk Moth just sends it out.
