Biology
Noivern is a large, draconic Pokémon that resembles a bat. It is primarily black with a purple underbelly and blue-green wing membranes. It has a purple lower jaw, a red, V-shaped growth on its snout, two fang-like projections on its upper lip, and yellow eyes with blue-green sclerae. Its large, teardrop-shaped ears have alternating rings of blue-green and black on the interiors and resemble loudspeakers. Around its neck is a fluffy mane of white fur that is longer in the back. Its wings have three red claws on the middle joint and are divided into segments by two black wing fingers. On the back of the wing, the final segment is purple. Noivern's feet have two toes each and a red, claw-like growth on top of each toe. It has a long, whip-like tail with a blue-green underside and two spines near the tip.
Noivern is known for its violent temper, but becomes tame if approached with its favorite ripe fruit. From its ears, it can produce ultrasonic waves strong enough to shatter large boulders. It uses these waves to freely navigate through darkness.[1] Noivern is also known to be cruel, ruthlessly tormenting enemies that cannot see in the dark. It uses ultrasonic waves and its fangs to finish off enemies.

- Noivern's German name, UHaFnir, consists of both more than two capitalized Latin letters and doesn't have a dash.
Origin
Noivern seems to be based on a combination of wyvern, a long-eared bat, fruit bat, or a leaf-nosed bat, and loudspeaker or tweeter. Inspiration for its design may also have been drawn from gargoyles.
Name origin
Noivern may be a combination of noise and wyvern.
Onvern may be a combination of 音 on (sound), 音波 onpa (sound wave), and ワイバーン wyvern.
