The West subspecies
West Noctarion are more beastly than their other relatives. They tend to be intimating to most Noctarion because of the massive size and mostly feral behavior. West Noctapods live alone and don't get along with any other Noctapod. Only in Mating season, a west is willing to tolerate a roommate for a few days. These heavy duty Noctapods can be used for combat and protection purposes. Taming one is rather rare and complicated due to the heavyweight, huge size and bestiary behavior. Some West Noctapods have been observed attacking Noctarions on multiple occasions. Be careful then deciding to buy a young cub, but strong bonds are possible with proper care and authority
