Elnoyle is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII. Its appearance is similar to the Boss Elvoret, except for the dull brown coloration.

[edit] Battle

Esthar City will be flooded with monsters only after the Lunar Cry, but Elnoyle can be found in the city even before that event occurs. North of Odine's Lab is a black figure sitting at the farthest point, who will laugh "Heehahaheehee" when the player try to strike a conversation. The fight commences immediately after that, and the player cannot escape the battle.

The screenshot depicts Esthar during the Lunar Cry, but Elnoyle can be found in that same location before the Lunar Cry occurs.

In Disk 4, Elnoyle spawns at a certain point in the Esthar City world map, perhaps at the converging of two streets close to the Airstation.

Although the Elnoyle is powerful, strong magic can be Drawn from it. It also allows access to Energy Crystals and Elnoyle Cards, which can be refined into Energy Crystals. Energy Crystals in turn, can be refined into Pulse Ammo, needed for the Lion Heart, Squall's best weapon. They can also be refined into Ultima, the most powerful spell in the game.
