General Information
Chrono Trigger
The Nu are quite possibly the most enigmatic creatures in Chrono Trigger. Despite their low HP, they do have a very powerful attack that will instantly reduce a characters to 1 HP, no matter what the character's level.
The Nu are often seen by fans of the series to represent the power of the planet at work, or perhaps its life force -- which explains their combat capabilities nicely, in that the planet is powerful, but is malevolent only when it has to be to defend itself. There are six Nu in 12000 B.C., all of them inhabiting Zeal. A special book located there yields the following written verse on these creatures:
All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu...This is my belief...at least for now!
According to Chrono Cross, as well as evolutionary theory, life rose originally in Earth's oceans, and the Greek letter nu is often taken in old writing to represent water. It is also the symbol for wave velocity in the mathematical formula for frequency.
Interestingly, Spekkio appears as a red Nu once the player reaches Level 99, implying the Nu's nigh-on-supreme power, and in turn the power of the planet's will; in that form, Spekkio is nearly as difficult as Lavos to defeat, with 20000 HP -- as much as the first and second forms of Lavos put together, and fully two-thirds as tough as the beast's outrageously durable final mutation in Chrono Trigger.
