Who is The Goff Butterfly in Peacemaker?

The invasion in a senator's family · Threats & Handlers

The Goff Butterfly (The invasion in a senator's family) is a character in Peacemaker, part of Threats & Handlers. The butterflies wear people — a senator, a cop, a coffee-shop teen — tiny alien passengers steering borrowed lives toward a quiet planetary takeover they sincerely consider a rescue: humanity, they note, keeps ruining its own habitat. The Goff entity becomes the invasion's voice, arguing its case from a jar and then from stolen bodies, and the finale's cow-sized logistics give the show its thesis question: who gets to decide what's best for a species — and does being right excuse the method?
