Nyx, or the Dark Continent Nyx is a location in the fictional Zoids universe, most notably in the battle story. Far in the northern regions of the planet, it is known for being cold and inhospitable, and the sea route between it and the Central Continent is blocked by a dangerous region of electromagnetic storms known as the Triangle Daras. It is home to the Guylos Empire, and once was home to the Dark Zoids (such as Deadborder and Heldigunner). Bizarrely organic and glowing an eerie green—which, in some versions of the story, had a detrimental effect on vegetation and terrain—they were powered up by an ore called Deochalcum (possibly a play on Orichalcum).
