Additional Information

Domestication

This species is commonly kept as house pets in Surbaria, in large jars. They are decorated with glowing items from the Phosphorian Caves, where the species originates. As they glow brightly, they are often kept bedside where they make wonderful little glowing lamps. Usually no more than a few are kept in a jar, as it can get cramped but at the same time nocsids are sociable creatures, and require a partner to live.
