Biology[]
Dr. Nocturne is a recolor of Dr. E. Raser, with the same appearance and beakers, but different colors. He has long, red, spiky hair, a skull with yellow pupils, a black ghost tail, and bare skeleton hands. He wears a black lab coat and a belt with a round buckle. The chemicals inside his three beakers are colored red, green, and purple, with a lime green aura surrounding them.
Dr. Nocturne was originally a human from Springdale, named Cliff Nocturne (Japanese: 影村たかし Kagemura Takashi). During his childhood, his father became neglectful towards his family, until his mother decided to leave him. Around 50 years before the events of the series, he and his mother moved to Dukesville.
Sometime before the events of Yo-kai Watch 3, they both passed away, with Dr. Nocturne becoming a Yo-kai afterwards.
Profile[]
Yo-kai Watch 3[]
During the request "A Cry for Help and a Family in Need!", originally added in the Japanese version's 3.0 Update, Hailey Anne and Usapyon end up searching for Dr. Maddiman's estranged family, eventually coming across the "Nocturne" family grave in Dukesville. When Dr. Nocturne spots them there, he assumes they're vandals and attacks them. After the battle, he is scolded by Molar Petite for just attacking them like that.
Hailey Anne deduces that he must be Dr. Maddiman's son, and asks him if he would go back to Springdale with them, to reunite with his father. Despite agreeing to this, he ultimately doesn't show up, leaving behind a can of Doctor Rapper and a letter addressed to his father instead.
At some point later, he arranges for Tie-red to inspirit Hailey Anne's father, causing the latter to go home for the first time in a while and be with his family.
Dr. Nocturne can be fought and befriended in the Hazy Lane.
