He serves as the game's most powerful opponent. Outside of ''Dragon Quest VI'', with few exceptions, he is the strongest monster in every game he appears in.<br> | ||

Another difference with Dhuran is the armor; Nokturnus' armor is more complex and has more details in comparison. The color of the armor's plates is green (this green in particular resembles the color of copper when it gets oxidized). Furthermore, the armor also has some little crimson details that look like blood veins.

The color of the armor's plates is green (this green in particular resembles the color of copper when it gets oxidized). Furthermore, the armor also has some little crimson details that look like blood veins. In {{DQ10}} and {{DQH}}, these blood veins start emitting a malevolent red light when Nokturnus gets enraged or it is about to use a powerful attack. Its attire is completed with a cape. This cape is black or dark grey on the outside and scarlet on the inside, therefore differing from the one that Dhuran wears since that one is indigo on both the outside and the inside. | ||
Nokturnus is equipped with a double-bladed weapon. In most of its appearances, this weapon has a dark purple handgrip and the blades are irregular, giving the impression that, like Nokturnus' armor, it is made of oxidized copper; however in its ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below|Heroes]]'' appearance, the blades are bigger and sharper and now violet with some golden demonic decorations. | Nokturnus is equipped with a double-bladed weapon.
