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[]
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[]

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