The first nova Elemon so far! Babelia is hydro only, while Physadro and Novazoa are Hydro/Nova
Novazoa is based off of the Portuguese man of war, and as such as more of a hive mind of disjointed parts rather than one singular entity. Nova type Elemon also have a proficiency for moves that can debuff and poison foes

I was chatting mutants from around the world and it came up that according to the Marvel wiki, there are only 5 characters from Portugal ever to feature in a Marvel comic, none of them mutants. One of them, however, is simply called “Man-of-War” with no further information given.
Presumably this is a play on the highly venomous Portuguese Man o’ War. Despite often being called jellyfish, Man o’ Wars are actually siphonophores, marine organism whose “body” is composed of many smaller animals that act as “their” organs.
Entirely unrelatedly, a Cephalophore is a type of saint who is depicted as carrying around their own severed head.

Throughout that stormy winter [of 1806], Marryat was recording this almost daily in his log: ‘Engaged a battery and took two prizes … engaged a battery and received a shot in the counter … anchored and stormed a battery … trying to get a prize off that was ashore, lost five men.’ Daily, Marryat heard the drums beat to quarters and the squeal of the boatswain’s calls as the ship’s company made or took in sail, ran out the guns and manned boats. As he put it, he thrilled to ‘the rapidity of the frigate’s movements, night and day; the hasty sleep, snatched at all hours; the waking up at the report of the guns, which seemed the only key-note to the hearts of those on board; the beautiful precision of our fire … the coolness and courage of our captain.’
— Tom Pocock, Captain Marryat: Seaman, Writer, and Adventurer
Man of War in Torbay, by Thomas Luny, 1809.
