The '''Noctol''' is an [[entity]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]] that only appears during the [[unnatural darkness]] event.

== Occurrence == 

Noctols attack during the Unnatural Darkness event until all [[Noctolith]]s are destroyed or the darkness disappears on its own. Also, damaging a noctolith triggers an attack wave of noctols once per noctolith.

== Summary ==

=== Yield ===
A Noctol yields 3 [[bioferrite]] per day and 200W of power when hooked up to an [[electroharvester]].

== Analysis ==

Noctols spawn en-masse in dark areas around a Noctolith when it is attacked.  While extremely fast and dangerous, they receive massive penalties of +15% pain, +200% melee cooldown, and -50% movement speed when exposed to light. Make sure you place [[torch]]es, lamps, [[solar pinhole]]s, and [[disruptor flare]]s around noctoliths prior to attacking them.

Noctols are a good source of [[Research#Anomaly|advanced anomaly research points]] since they're easier to contain and much less dangerous than [[chimera]]s or [[devourer]]s so long as they're kept in well lit areas.

== Trivia ==
* The Noctol's name likely comes from the Latin word "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctis noctis]", meaning night.

== Version history == 
* [[Anomaly DLC]] Release - Added.
