Nox

Nox / Noximilien Coxen

"Yes, yes! I can do it! I'll fix my life's clock!"

Voiced by: Benjamin Pascal (FR), Arthur Bostrom (EN, Season 1), Kaiji Tang (EN, Season 3), Luca Violini (IT)

A Xelor who serves as the first season's primary antagonist, Nox is both incredibly powerful and quite insane. He travels the world and drains wakfu from everything he finds, reducing whole regions to barren wastelands. The series begins with him encountering Grougaloragran, and his obsession with the Dragon and his enormous supply of wakfu eventually sets him in opposition to Yugo.

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: Yugo certainly feels bad for him after seeing him break down, but he's seemingly the only character present who feels that way. The audience meanwhile, especially those among them who re/watch the finale with full knowledge of Nox's secret Start of Darkness...
• All for Nothing: His plan was ultimately doomed from the start as 200 years of research, gathering wakfu, and committing all sorts of atrocities in the process nets him... 20 minutes back in time, nullifying both his victory against the heroes and his life's work in one fell swoop.
  Nox: All the Wakfu gathered in 200 years... FOR TWENTY MISERABLE MINUTES!?
• Anguished Outburst: When he completes his 200-year-long mission only to find that it was All for Nothing, he's reduced to ranting and screaming at the Eliacube in raw grief and rage, demanding to know why it lied to him. The anger and ranting parts quickly fade to pure grief and sorrow.
• Anti-Villain: His ultimate goal is to save his family. His ruthlessness isn't from lacking a conscience, he's operating under the assumption that every bad thing he does will be undone once he succeeds, since his goal is to go back in time, therefore also setting the universe back to before he committed them. He fails not by the heroes' intervention (he won against them), but after his success it turns out he couldn't go back far in time even with the greatest source of wakfu.
• Arc Villain: He's the main antagonist of the first season, aiming to collect enough Wakfu to go back in time and undo his mistakes, regardless of what atrocities he has to commit along the way.
• The Atoner: From his point of view, his entire villainous quest is this.
  Nox: If you could redeem yourself for a terrible mistake for the price of some lives, would you do it?
• Ax-Crazy: His obsession with the Eliacube and bringing back his family really took its toll on his sanity.
• Bad Boss: Nox wastes his minions for the slightest objections or speaking at the wrong time and regularly threatens them.
• Badass Boast: A rather subdued one right before his fight with Grougaloragran.
  Nox: Goodbye? Oh, your friends are going to be so disappointed... you should have said farewell...
• Badass Bookworm: A master Xelor which usually looks more like a traditional Wizard who's though enough to trade blows with Dragons.
• Battle Aura: He surges with wakfu when he pulls out all the stops.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: Before he became a genocidal tyrant, Nox wanted to have a legacy that would outlast him, to leave his name marked in history so he would be remembered for something grand. He certainly got that in the end...
• Beyond the Impossible: Time manipulation isn't unheard of in this setting. Some characters have managed to travel back and forward through time; Powerful Xelors and the god himself can cause indefinite time loops over certain areas. Nox on the other hand, doesn't want to do any of that. He wants to reverse time for the entire Krosmos and ultimately succeeds...in a fashion. Even Qilby, an actual Eliatrope with far more knowledge of how the Eliacube works than Nox ever did as its creator, was impressed when told about it from Adamai.
• Big Brother Is Watching: His clock lair is filled with multiple surveillance lens that show the images watched and projected by his countless Noxines spread across the world, allowing him to watch and spy multiple people and multiple places from a very long distance.
• Big "NO!": He lets a few out at times, such as when Yugo interfering with the Eliacube transports Nox's mobile fortress to Mount Zinit before it was finished draining the Tree of Life.
• The Bus Came Back: Makes a reappearance in Season 3 as one of the phantoms tormenting Yugo by Oropo.
• Busman's Vocabulary: Occasionally sprinkles his dialogue with references to clockwork.
• The Chessmaster: He is able of finding back Grougaloragran by sending one of his Noxines spy on the Brotherhood of the Tofu while they are searching for Oma Island and Yugo's family, knowing that they have strong chances of finding them, with the brotherhood being completely oblivious about the Noxine's presence. He later tricks the whole Sadida kingdom military by sending his Noxines and minions attack the Sadida kingdom borders as a giant distraction while Killweedos who has infiltrated the kingdom is making a teleporation portal close to the Tree of Life, allowing him to reach the tree with minimal resistance.
• Clock Punk: All of his machinery is made of gears and other clock parts. His mobile headquarters is essentially a giant pocket watch with legs.
• Clothing Damage: His armor and clothing is severely damaged in his fight against Grougaloragran. We still don't see any of his skin, though.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Living for so long with only an ancient relic for a companion has made him go a little crazy.
• Combat Pragmatist: Prefers to attack his opponents while they are immobilized by his time powers, and has no issues using his zombies and noxines as support against particulary strong opponents or to attack Yugo from behind while he was distracted by Ogrest during their final battle.
• Cool Sword: One shaped like a giant clock hand.
• Deflector Shields: Still with a clockwork theme. Notably to stop Grougal's fire breath.
• Despair Event Horizon: The point where he hits this isn't when his Start of Darkness into becoming a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds in his Origins Episode is completed. It's when his 200-year-long quest turns out to be All for Nothing and he realizes there's truly no bringing his family back nor erasing all of the world-scarring atrocities he committed in pursuit of that goal. All he can do is somberly bid the heroes a sincere farewell and use the last of his power to teleport himself to his family's graves, where he turns to dust.
• Detrimental Determination: One of the most gut-wrenchingly saddening cases of this trope ever put to animation. He's spent 200 years ceaselessly and obsessively collecting wakfu wherever he can, often forcibly extracting it from living beings without their consent under the justification that it won't matter once he changes history so these events never happened, and he's turned himself into little more than a monstrous zombie along the way whilst extending his lifespan to ensure he lives long enough to complete his goals. Every time something or someone gets in his way (or, in Grougaloragran's case, tries to talk him down), Nox always manages to work his way through or around it and keeps on going regardless of any setbacks. All of this so he can travel back in time to before his family died as an indirect consequence of his mistakes, and prevent their deaths while also erasing all the harm he's caused others to get there from the timeline. Tragically, Nox doesn't see until he's actually won and begins reversing time that his quest was doomed from the start, as not even one of the single most powerful sources of wakfu in the world is enough to reverse time by more than twenty minutes, meaning that all the death, destruction and misery he caused to achieve his goals can't ever be erased, which in turn means that the only legacy he'll leave behind once he turns to dust is that of a hated, mad genocider. This brutal revelation hits Nox like a country-sized ton of bricks.
• Disease Bleach: The Origins Episode depicts Noximilien's once-blonde hair turning white as his Sanity Slippage advances and his appearance, hygiene and well-being decline.
• Dramatic Irony: It's a bit of Fridge Brilliance, but with Grougaloragran effectively killed and forced to reincarnate with his past life's memories gone; after Nox dies, the audience are the only ones who know what his tragic true motives for trying to reverse time were, and the World of Twelve will not remember him as anything other than a genocidal mad despot. The effect intensifies after viewing Nox's Origins Episode.
• Dying Alone: After seeing his plan could never succeed, Yugo convinces the others to let Nox leave. Then the credits show his armor scattered on his family's grave, implying Nox either killed himself or died of old age after he stopped draining wakfu.
• Dying as Yourself: Implied. After he achieves his Pyrrhic Victory which furthermore drains all his collected wakfu stores, during his resulting Villainous BSoD his body's movements becomes more fluid and human whereas throughout the series they were all rigid and jerky as if he was part-clockwork underneath his bandages (and he seriously probably was); plus his voice sounds more and more like he did in the Origins Episode. Implying the Eliacube was releasing its 200-year-long hold on his mind as he realized just what he'd done, what he'd become and that he was truly never going to see his family again.
• Evil Counterpart: He's this to Yugo. They both had humble and idyllic beginnings as caring people (Yugo being a restaurant owner's adoptive son in his current incarnation, Nox being a clockmaker in a rural home), yet are also more ambitious or spirited than their humble homes could accommodate. They love and value their family very greatly. They're also both willing to fight to their deaths in order to save what they love at all costs, but Yugo fights for the loved ones he still has, whereas Nox has lost all of that and fights to get it all back.
• Evil Genius: He has created himself a great number of very advanced devices and weapons powered by the energy of the Eliacube such as his armor, his giant clock lair equiped with spider legs and surveillance lens, energy beam weapons, spider tanks and mounts for his minions, the small bug-like robots called the Noxines that serve as scouts and wakfu collectors, Egole's collar that increases his speed to a phenomenal degree, teleportations portals, his Zombies minions and the very powerful robot using Statis energy Razortime.
• Evil Laugh: His frequent bouts of completely psychotic laughter are the first indication that he has a few screws loose behind his façade of calm and smug superiority.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: He has a slightly raspy-sounding voice when he isn't speaking in a low tone.
• Expressive Mask: The eye-lenses on his helmet come with shutters that act as metal eyelids with a range of expressions for Nox's mood, although they only appear sometimes. Other times, we get the full, unsettling effect of those unblinking, glowing, expressionless eyes.
• The Faceless: Never takes his mask off on-screen. It's easy to think that his mask is his face.
• Faux Affably Evil: Wavers between facetiously polite and outright patronizing, usually while he's actively trying to beat you so he can suck your life force dry.
• Flight: He can levitate at will.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: He used to be a loving husband, a good father and a mere watchmaker. Then he found the Eliacube...
• Gadgeteer Genius: He was already this as a simple watchmaker, 200 years ago. And his engineering and inventing talent has only increased over time and with the use of the Eliacube's energy.
• Giggling Villain: His speaking voice is as far as you can get from a baritone, too.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: His eyes glow the same light blue as the Eliacube.
• Goal in Life: Set Right What Once Went Wrong by going back in time to save his family, and coincidentally reverse every atrocity he's committed along the way. He fails.
• A God Am I: Exaggerated. He screams during his Rage Against the Heavens speech at his Start of Darkness that the completion of his Beyond the Impossible goals will make him more powerful than the god of time himself. And he technically succeeds at the end, if not nearly as well as he could've hoped.
• The Greatest Story Never Told: Only Grougaloragran is ever told Nox's entire plan, and afterward is left in no situation to reveal it. Even Yugo only had a hunch that Nox was anything more than a power mad despot, but that's all history will remember him as.
• Heel Realization: Once his attempt to travel back in time fails because he couldn't go nearly far enough, Nox realizes he was deluded to put so much faith behind the (probably hallucinatory) words of the Eliacube. Put simply, it destroys him.
• Historical Villain Upgrade: In-Universe. By the time of Season 2, most of the world, having no way of knowing his sympathetic motivations, see him as a power-hungry madman.
• Horror Hunger: Claims to hunger for wakfu in the beginning of the series, but it's ultimately subverted as he's not using the wakfu to feed himself, but his plans.
• I Am Not Left-Handed: He almost never goes full out due to his frugal nature, but his fight with Grougaloragran reveals just how powerful he can be.
• I Want Them Alive!: He instructs Igôle to bring back Adamaï without damaging him too much.
• Knight of Cerebus: While he's present since the beginning, we don't really see how serious he gets until season 1 episode 13. If you want to see just how serious things get with him... had he won, the first season would've had a happier ending.
• Laughing Mad: He giggles to himself with every other line, and that's on a good day.
• Leitmotif: A few, all of which feature the ticking or chiming of clocks. Used for sinister foreshadowing in the Start of Darkness episode, when the beginning of Noximilien's descent into madness is accompanied by his villainous leitmotif from the beginning of the series.
• Limited Wardrobe: Downplayed bordering on averted. He wears several different armors and robes over the course of Season 1, although he never loses his signature helmet and mummy-like bandages.
• Limp and Livid: In the Origins Episode, Noximilien's posture grows hunched, limp-armed and creepy-eyed as his Sanity Slippage advances, and by the time he finds out about his family's deaths and completely snaps, his demeanor is anything but reassuring.
• Living on Borrowed Time: He's been kept alive by the Eliacube for two-hundred years. And based on the mystery of what's underneath his helmet and bandages and the inhuman, marionette-like way he moves, he might've extended his life using other artificial means we're better off not knowing about.
• Love Makes You Evil: His entire crusade to suck all life he encounters dry of its wakfu until he has enough to turn back time is motivated by saving and rejoining his dead family, and nothing and no-one will stand in his way.
• Mad Scientist: What he developed into during the last 200 years.
• Magic Knight: He's got the armor, he's got the spells, and he's even got the sword.
• Malicious Misnaming: Nox mockingly calls Grougaloragran "Rigolo-ragran" in the original dub at one point during their battle, "rigolo" being French for "funny".
• Meaningful Name: "Nox" means "night" in Latin, fitting his time theme coupled with his morbid and tragic nature. His name is also similar to "noxa", which means damage towards organisms, fitting how he sucks all significant life he encounters dry of wakfu for his plan and leaves death and desolation in his wake. Also applies to his invention the Noxines, in addition to sounding like "toxine".
• Meaningful Rename:
  Noximilien: My children called me "Daddy", my wife called me "Milien". From this instant, the world shall learn to call me "Nox"!
• Meaningless Villain Victory: A particularly heartbreaking example occurs to him when he completes his 200-year-long quest to collect enough wakfu to make the Eliacube reverse time, so he can reunite with his family and prevent both their deaths and erase all the evil he committed afterwards to reach this goal... and he discovers that all the wakfu, which included one of the single most powerful wakfu sources in the world, is only enough to reverse time by twenty minutes instead of 200 years.
• Mummies at the Dinner Table: Nox keeps a mechanical puppet theatre that he uses to reenact scenes with his family.
• Multiple-Choice Past: Has shades of this with certain details rather than his actual origin. In his OVA, his family is seen as blonds. In the show, his vision of wife shows her with black hair and all of his kids are seen with different hair colors. In his OVA, he mentions the Eliacube directly by name. In the show, he refers to it as "The Cube" and is surprised when Grougaloragran states its real name.
• My God, What Have I Done?: When Nox is finally defeated, realizing that he's never getting his family back and his mistakes will never be erased, Nox is clearly crushed and spends the last few minutes of screen-time he has crying in remorse. For all his delusions, Nox genuinely did figure all his horrible actions would be undone by turning time back.
• Noble Demon: More Ax-Crazy than usual but he wants his family back and has a twisted respect for fathers that would die for their families i.e. Alibert.
• No Immortal Inertia: Implied. After he uses up all his wakfu stores and subsequently departs, his connection to the Eliacube which has kept him alive for two-hundred years is implicitly severed based on the way the cube immediately powers down. After this, the last we see of Nox is his armor, bandages, and a pile of dust atop his family's graves, implying that he rapidly aged into dust.
• Not Enough to Bury: The Creative Closing Credits of the Season 1 finale show there's nothing left of Nox but his armor, bandages and a pile of dust.
• Omniscient Morality License: Nox kills with no remorse because he assumes his ultimate success will render all negative consequences of his actions irrelevant. That's because he believes all his evil deeds would be undone if he set the universe back to before he did them. The problem is he actually can't do that because there isn't enough wakfu in the world to go back nearly far enough. He doesn't take this revelation well.
• Papa Wolf: The guy was ready to go Beyond the Impossible by reversing time in order to save his family.
• Pet the Dog:
  • He cures Alibert because he admires his love for his son.
  • He leaves Igole with the child that took him in when he was injured. He seems to remember Igole was the family pet before he was one of his minions.
• Possession Implies Mastery: Averted in regards to the Eliacube. Nox had it in his possession for 200 years, and even by the present day he admits there is so much about it he still doesn't understand despite his experimentation with it. He is shocked when Yugo manages to tap into its power within minutes of being around it when it took him years, if not decades to do the same.
• Post-Mortem Comeback: In Season 3, he manifests in Yugo's nightmares and attacks him, apparently a projection of Yugo's guilt over being unable to save him.
• Power Floats: The rare times he's actually on the ground it's because he ran out of power.
• Power Glows: He constantly glows of a teal-colored wakfu light, which depends on the armor he's currently wearing. The more wakfu he employs, the bigger the aura.
• Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Nox's entrance in episode 2, complete with False Reassurance.
  Nox: Good morning, everyone, my name is Nox. Do as I say and everything will go... well... not that bad.
• Pre-Insanity Reveal: His Start of Darkness Origins Episode gives us an utterly heart-rending look at the man he once was in the beginning before the Eliacube drove him mad.
• Rage Against the Heavens:
  Noximilien: I'll fight time — that great, deceiving fool! Soon I'll be as powerful as the god Xelor! Yes, even more powerful... [...] DO YOU HEAR ME, XELOR?! I'll surpass you and I'll bring back my family!
• Really 700 Years Old: Exact age unknown, but he's been stealing wakfu for 200 years.
• Redemption Rejection: Upon sensing Nox actually still has a speck of goodness in him, Grougaloragran tries to persuade Nox to give up his mad crusade and claims trying to turn back time will unleash an Apocalypse How. Nox laughs it off and decides it's a Xanatos Gambit, since if he tries and winds up ending the world instead of achieving his goals in the worse-case scenario, he's too far gone to care what happens to the world.
• Reduced to Dust: Downplayed. This is all that's left of him besides his armor and bandages, implying his true age spontaneously caught up with him.
• Retractable Weapon: Nox's sword, appropriately looking like a clock's hands, deploys bit by bit in his hand whenever he needs it.
• Reverse Arm-Fold: He's fond of combining this posture with Power Floats when he's not actively using his arms to fight an opponent.
• Sanity Slippage: His Origins Episode confirms that he had one due to the Eliacube getting into his head, and it gets harrowingly depicted in the spirit of the trope image.
• Self-Disposing Villain: As it turns out, Nox is so ruthlessly effective at taking care of the heroes this ends up being the only possible way he can be stopped: Nox's ultimate downfall comes when he fails to realize he can never attain enough wakfu to go back two-hundred years and instead burns his entire supply going back twenty minutes, just before his victory. Nox freaks at this.
• Significant Name Shift: He's usually prone to referring to his foes by patronizing or mocking nicknames, and if he starts referring to you by name, it indicates he's developed a serious respect for you. This happens midway through Nox's duel with Grougaloragran after the mad Xelor realizes just how powerful and capable his opponent really is, and it happens when he bids Yugo a somber farewell after his Villainous Breakdown.
• Single Tear: A tear notably escapes from beneath his mask when he completely breaks down over the realization that his two-hundred-year-long quest to Ret-Gone his family's deaths, and all the atrocities he committed to get there in the belief it would all be reset once he won, were All for Nothing. It clues Yugo in that Nox isn't just the heartless lunatic Yugo judged him to be.
• Sphere of Power: His time-stops cover a spherical region.
• Start of Darkness: A bonus episode was produced depicting Nox's life before the Eliacube, and how he came to be obsessed with gathering wakfu.
• Stepping Stones in the Sky: Justified by time being frozen around him. He impressively uses mid-air blocks of rubble as stepping stones during his original skirmish with Grougaloragran.
• Super Mode: In his final duel with Grougaloragran, after Nox realizes just how powerful his dragon opponent really is and after Grougal has fought off Nox's minions, Nox resorts to sampling a chunk of his wakfu stores to empower himself, causing a mass of writhing wakfu to sprout on his back and forming twin energy hammers.
• Sword Beam: His clock sword can fire cutting projectiles.
• Sympathy for the Devil: Yugo at first judges Nox to be nothing more than a psychopathic madman, but after the mad Xelor utterly breaks down, Yugo evidently gets a hunch about Nox's true colors when Nox's only response to Yugo angrily chewing him out for his madness and the realization that the Eliacube's words were all in his head is to sob and shed a Single Tear. Sadly it's too little too late for Yugo to do anything to save Nox — all he can do is stop the Sadidas from taking revenge of the mob variety before Nox teleports away to die. Bear in mind, this kid was pretty much ready to KILL Nox in revenge for Sadlygrove's death before this point. Season 3 reveals Yugo genuinely feels terrible about being unable to save Nox to the point of being haunted.
• Tears of Remorse: Implied. The broken Single Tear he sheds (see above) is probably as much a tear of crippling guilt as it is a tear of grief and failure.
• Teleport Spam: Teleports a lot, either to get away from someone, to dodge an attack, or to taunt them.
• This Cannot Be!: Has so many variations of of this that it's practically a catchphrase, especially in the season 1 finale.
• This Is Gonna Suck: Nox's understated reaction when he realizes that his magic powers are inhibited and that Grougal is about to breath fire on him at point blank, with enough strength to alter Oma Island's geography and make the volcano erupt.
  Nox: Eh eh eh, this is going to hurt a little... [braces for impact]
• Time Master: Controls time, though not as much as he would like to be.
• Time Stands Still: He's able to freeze time for everyone else in his immediately vicinity.
• Tragic Hero: Nox turns out to be an antagonistic type as his motivations are revealed, and when his efforts are All for Nothing. He's insanely and utterly driven to succeed at any cost in reversing time so he can bring back his dead family, with the added justification that if he succeeds in his goal it'll also Ret-Gone all the atrocities he's ruthlessly committing on others to get there. The Bad Guy Wins, but it turns out all his 200-year-long efforts were doomed from the start, as all the wakfu he collects (which includes part of one of the most potent sources of wakfu in the world) are only enough to reverse time by twenty minutes. Though no-one but the audience knows at the end why Nox really did what he did, even Yugo feels bad upon witnessing his Villainous BSoD and lets him escape, at which point Nox dies as a Self-Disposing Villain.
• Tragic Time Traveler: His plan turns out to be to get enough Wakfu energy to go back in time and save his family, who dies centuries ago. However, by the time he seemingly achieves his goal and travels back in time, it turns out that over 200 years of gathering Wakfu only allowed him to travel back 20 minutes, rendering everything he did for naught.
• Tragic Villain: Nox has caused mayhem and death all over the world in his frantic quest for gathering Wakfu and is feared and hated by nearly everyone, but none know that all of his crimes are meant to revert time in order to save his family, and that if his plans succeed, not only will he be reunited with his beloved family, but the rewind will also undo all his previous atrocities; he's well-aware of the latter point, which is what enables him to justify all the extremes he goes to. All the more tragic at the end where his plans fail and all that's left of him is his legacy of death and madness.
• Tron Lines: Has them on his armor and masks, surging with Wakfu whenever he's charged up.
• Twitchy Eye: He sometimes twitches one of the eye lenses in his Expressive Mask.
• The Unfettered: Nox wants to turn back time to before his family died or he did anything evil, so he doesn't give a damn about who he steps over along the way. Nox deconstructs this as there was no Plan B when his Plan A ends up All for Nothing.
• The Unreveal: We never see what's behind this mask. The closest we get is a distant shot from behind. Perhaps for the best.
• Useless Useful Spell: His time-stop ability is generally reserved for very strong opponents — so strong that they're usually able to overcome it through raw (will)power.
• Unwitting Pawn: To Oropo who arranged for him to find the Eliacube, setting him on his path to insanity and his later rampage.
• Villainous Breakdown: After his grand scheme finally unfolds, only to end up discovering that 200 years' worth of collecting wakfu could only send him back in time by about 20 minutes, Nox degenerates into a ranting mess, screaming at the Eliacube and demanding to know why it "betrayed" him. It ultimately results in...
• Villainous BSoD: After Yugo chews him out for committing 200 years of atrocities because of his insane delusions, Nox finally has a Heel Realization, and doesn't put up a fight when the soldiers of Sadida show up to arrest him. In the end, he just bids Yugo a morose farewell before teleporting away, leaving the Eliacube behind.
• Villain Teleportation: Him and Yugo both have teleportation abilities, but Yugo's require him to create portals with hand gestures and slide in and out of them, whereas Nox can shift from one spot to another in an instantaneous flicker without the need for gesturing.
• The Watchmaker: This was his profession before his Start of Darkness, and as a villain he is unmovingly hellbent on going Beyond the Impossible to reset the Krosmoz back to when his family were still alive; something which Nox notes during his Rage Against the Heavens speech is beyond even the time god Xelor's power.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Wants his family back, after severely neglecting them over an object and indirectly causing their deaths, so he's stealing the wakfu (life energy) from plants, animals and people to use it to travel back in time to change the past, thereby indirectly reverting all of his atrocities along the way. He's well aware of this, but if his plan works none of said horror wouldn't happen in the first place
• Wind-Up Key: The hole in his chest is there for a reason.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The Eliacube gave him powers far beyond anything he could have achieved on his own, but at the cost of his sanity. His family's death later makes him go off the deep end.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Most definitely. It's bad enough when you realize why he's the Big Bad, but in the finale when he realizes that two centuries of work were for absolutely nothing, you can't help but feel for the guy.
• Worthy Opponent: Nox isn't one for using the names of others, a bit understandable given that his grand scheme would make doing so rather pointless. However, he has a tendency to call those he respects by name instead of blithe insults. The list is incredibly small and consists of Grougaloragran, Alibert, and eventually Yugo.
• Wrong Time-Travel Savvy: Nox wants to move the universe back in time to before his family died, which Grougaloragran says is likely impossible and to try would simply destroy the universe. Nox recognizes the possibility, but brushes it off as an acceptable risk. Since if he's right, everything he'd done up until then will have been reverted, while if he's wrong he'll be content to die with the universe in tow. Nox actually manages the time rewind without disastrous consequences, but found a different problem he didn't think of: that even with the largest wakfu source in the world, he couldn't go nearly far enough back.
  Nox: TWENTY MISERABLE MINUTES!!!
• You Fool!: He shouts this at Yugo during their last battle when Yugo tries to grab the Eliacube, claiming he's the only one who understands the cube well enough to safely touch it.

Igôle

Igôle

Nox's pet. Igôle's collar has been tinkered with by his master, making him incredibly fast.

---

• Amplifier Artifact: His collar, infused with Xelor magic, boosts his physical abilities much higher than they usually would be, giving him Super-Speed and, in a pinch, providing the very same Time Stands Still ability Nox uses.
• Fluffy the Terrible
• Freudian Excuse: Igôle has been stuck for two hundred years with Nox, subject to his ramblings and occasional death threats, and most likely being kept alive by unstable magic just so that Nox can have some remnant of his old life. It's left the poor animal rather high strung. His last appearance also strongly implies that he pines after the absence of Nox's children, which ultimately forms the basis of his Heel–Face Turn.
• Heel–Face Turn: Becomes a pet to a little girl who heals him after he gets hurt (and reminded him of Nox's daughter).
• Just Eat Him: Does this to both Az and Adamai at one point.
• Mad Eye
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Common in this world. Igole mostly resembles a hyena, but his body shape is reminiscent of a lizard, and he acts partly like a dog.
• Precious Puppy: Shown as one in flashbacks.
• Right-Hand Attack Dog
• Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Induce one for Adamaï, forcing him into the form of a Tofu.
• Super-Speed: Thanks to the Xelor magic infused in his collar, Igôle can run at incredible speeds allowing him to run on water, move faster than the eye can track, and cross hundreds of miles easily.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Igôle is the one who led Nox to the Eliacube, and even went so far as to inadvertantly revive it by treating it as a chew toy.
• Vacuum Mouth: Possesses a powerful vacuum breath, which allows him to eat something as big as Adamai.
• Walk on Water: Due to his incredible speed, he can cross the ocean by running.

Nox's Zombies

Frisco, Marama, Tartufo and Killweedos

A foursome of mummified warriors who serve Nox when he needs something more powerful and restless than his minions or Igôle, respectively an undead Sacrier, Feca, Cra and Sadida. The first three appears during the climatic battle against Grugaloragran, Killweedos is later deployed to secretly open a path to the Tree of Life.

---

• Attack! Attack! Attack!: Frisco the Sacrier is the most offensive attacker of the group, literally pounding Grougal in the ground with no respite.
• Cold Sniper: Tartufo fighst from far away with his energy arrows.
• Combat Tentacles: Frisco uses them to pull enemies to him. They're apparently made of blood. Killseedos uses Sadida brambles to fight.
• Deader than Dead: Marama is crushed by the Razor Time, while the other three are crushed under the thorns of a Tree of Life-empowered Amalia.
• Dub Name Change: Deserboss name is changed to Killweedos in the English Dub.
• Elite Mook: To Nox, as he only employs them for serious challenges.
• Enemy Rising Behind: Killweedos can move through trees and vegetation, and pulls this trick on Eva when he notices her.
• From a Single Cell: Due to the combination of a zombie and a plantman Killweedos can regenerate from almost any attack almost instantly, healing from all the attacks thrown at him by the Brotherhood of the Tofu until he's finally destroyed by a super powerful attack from Amalia empowered by the tree of life.
• Green Thumb: Killweedos has powers over the plants even stronger than real Sadidas have, being able of returning the plants that Sadida guards tried to use on him against them. In fact he can even fuse with plants such as trees or giant roots, an ability that no living Sadida has ever demonstrated.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Marama, unsurprisingly, can use his Feca powers to intercept everything with his shield, even the attacks from Grougaloragran.
• Mind Control: Killweedos can take control of Sadida guards by creating special Voodoo dolls with their hair that turn them into his mindless minions.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: Due to them being zombies all of them, especially Killweedos, can take a tremendous amount of punishement without being incapacited or harmed in any way.
• Punny Name: Killweedos/Deserboss has an ironical but appropriate name for a rogue Sadida.
• Thousand-Yard Stare: While the other three' eyes are covered in bandages, Killweedos has this, and it's pretty creepy.
• The Undead: All of them. It is a special power used by the Xelors.

Timerazor

Timerazor/Razor Time

Nox's most powerful and dangerous creation, Razor Time is a mecha that harnesses the raw power of Stasis to blast away anything in its path, and is only deployed by Nox when the time comes to unleash untold destruction.

---

• Dub Name Change: From Timerazor to Razor Time in the English Dub. In the second season of the Italian dub it is called "The Terminator" instead.
• Didn't Need Those Anyway!: Despite losing an arm to Ruel's Drill Tank, it still tries to finish off the heroes before Joris takes it down.
• Hero Killer: It kills Dally, after all.
• Mini-Mecha: It's not huge, but it still towers over most of the characters.
• Person of Mass Destruction: Unlike all of Nox's other creations, the Razor Time runs on and uses Stasis energy rather than Wakfu, which allows it to destroy just about anything in its path. It casually blows away acres of trees standing between Nox and the Tree of Life, even the increased defenses the Sadida forces try to spring up to block Nox's path, and Nox noticeably didn't bring it out to fight Grougaloragran because the point was to capture and drain the dragon, not blow him up.
• Purple Is Powerful: It glows purple and its energy blasts are purple as well, and it's Nox's most powerful weapon.
• Super-Strength: Matches Dally while he's merged with Rubilax in a contest of strength, and when it manages to distract him it easily tosses him aside.
• Super-Toughness: Eva and Amalia's best attacks barely make it flinch. Dally even with Rubilax's demon form can hardly slow it down. It even manages to keep going after a direct hit from Ruel's Drill Tank tears off one of its arms.
• Wave-Motion Gun: It's main attack is to fire balls or beams of Stasis energy.
