Nous

Nous (ノウス) is one of the antagonists of The Promised Neverland during the Goldy Pond Arc. He is a demon who belongs to the group of Demons known as the "Poachers".

History
At some point, Nous and four other Poachers arrived at Goldy Pond where they began to hunt humans.

Appearance
Nous is a black demon with a tall, humanoid body. He has four eyes, with the two center ones left uncovered when his mask is on. His mask is difficult to destroy.

Nous makes his first appearance with the other Goldy Pond Poachers soon after Emma arrives, discussing what type of meat that they want.

Nous was later seen patrolling with Nouma, commenting that the children they were hunting managed to escape.

Nous overhears Bayon talking with some high-ranked demons about the Grace Field House escapees. This gets him excited since they were premium grade and an adult male. He said that not even those demons in their standing have access to that.

Nous and Nouma later go hunting and begin to chase after Sonia and Sandy. They applaud Sonia and Sandy's strategy of protecting each other from being caught, further exciting them. Because Sonia and Sandy were not premium grade, they were not permitted to kill the orphans.

Nous and Nouma then arrive at a clearing and Nous notices that a trap has been set for them. They knowingly take the bait and begin to go for the attack until a flash bomb temporarily blinds them and both shots successfully hit both of the demons, unmasking their face. Nouma quickly grabs Sonia and briefly applauds her for removing the mask. Right when she decides to hunt Sonia, Paula kills Nouma with her sniper, leaving Nous to cry out in sorrow. Right afterwards however, he begins to eat Nouma's head. The sniper then tries to shoot Nous but he quickly dodges the shot and throws his spear, injuring Paula in the process.

Nous then talks to "Nouma", stating that Nouma's death needs to be avenged. He scratches Sonia and then grabs Sandy by the head. He begins to play around with Sandy, threatening the lone observer to come out. Nous continues to play around with Sandy and nearly tosses him into the floor until a shot from Mister finally kills him.

Nouma
Nous seems to care a lot for Nouma. This was further indicated when Nouma died. After Nous eats Nouma's head, a part of her is still with Nous. Nouma requests that Nous avenges her death and the latter willingly does so.
