{{Creo}}

Nocterra is an [[Air]] and [[Earth]]-type [[Creo]] that paradoxically trains for flight by digging.

If they are lucky, Nocterra may stumble upon clusters of [[Crystsol]] in some hidden crevice and enjoy a break from the otherwise interminable gloom.

== Biology ==
By burrowing deep underground, Nocterra strengthens the muscles that will eventually power its wings. By the time Nocterra reaches adulthood, its wings are both tough enough to shovel large amounts of dirt and broad enough to glide effortlessly through the wide tunnels it excavates. Nocterra's wings are segmented, allowing them to fold in or out depending on the space available to them.

In the absence of light, Nocterra rely on echolocation to find their way.

Nocterra with the most developed sense of direction succeed in digging their way to enormous subterranean chambers where they can be more free to stretch their wings. When the paths of multiple Nocterra converge at the same cavern, they form loose colonies. After feeding together on patches of fungi or hunting small Water Creo in underground rivers, Nocterra enjoy the thrill of hurtling through caves at breakneck speeds while maneuvering around stalactites and stalagmites.
