The Heavy Distraction Support Unit "Nimbostratus" is a type of Homunculus in Bayonetta 3 and a more menacing evolution of the fodder enemy, Castellanus.

Anatomia Complex[]

An enhanced variant of the Castellanus type Homunculus.

In addition to its enemy surveillance capabilities, it also has the unique ability to create dimensional distortions and mask the presence of other nearby Homunculi for defensive purposes.

Appearance[]

Like the Castellanus, the Nimbostratus is a tower-like Homunculus, albeit with a top segment composed of what appear to be satellite dishes.

Gameplay[]

The Nimbostratus fights similarly to the Castellanus, although its segments cannot be broken off. In addition to its standard attacks and force field, it projects a field that makes other nearby Homunculi invisible, making it harder for Bayonetta to react to their attacks.

Recommended Weapons[]

Mictlantecuhtli can reveal the location of enemies that the Nimbostratus has made invisible in its X Formation.

Trivia[]

  • "Nimbostratus" comes from "nimbus", "cloud", and "stratus", "stretch". It's the name given to featureless, thick, grey rain clouds.
