Publication history
Nocticula was one of many demon lords that was mentioned only by name in a list in the original Monster Manual II (1983).[2]
Nocticula received further details in third edition in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss (2006).[1]
Description
Nocticula is described in the apocryphal text Armies of the Abyss as often appearing as a voluptuous wild woman with dried mud between her toes and a feral look in her deep brown eyes. She prefers to travel naked or with minimal clothing, and paints simple circles and lines on her pale skin. Her form occasionally changes without warning, and a dim trail of light like that of the moon follows every movement she makes.
Relationships
Nocticula's brother, Socothbenoth, is also her lover.
