Illuminoct is a golden version of Venoct. He sports a white figure with long, sandy-blonde hair that covers most of his face. A small amount is pulled into a ponytail held with a sky blue band, which matches his visible eye. He wears a pale blue outfit with a very light blue-white material around the waist held with a white band. The lower leg is covered by pale brown material to match his fingerless gloves, while the toed-sandals are gold. Around his neck is a wispy, pale yellow scarf with the tails resembling dragon heads.
Illuminoct is a very high-strung Yo-kai in the game. His last quote before fighting you is "SHINING~!". In Yo-kai Watch Blasters and Yo-kai Watch 3 he has a heroic demeanour; wanting to save others.
Illuminoct is exclusive to Psychic Specters. Illuminoct can only be found at Bucklebreaker Station which can only be reached by taking the Golden Happy-Go-Lucky Hexpress, which shows up rarely in the train stations connected to the outside of Gera Gera Abyss Resort, where he can be battled once a day until he's befriended through normal means.
Illuminoct is befriended by defeating him in the questHe Who Ascended to the Light but the quest is exclusive to the Tempura Version of the game. In the English version, it is only available if the player sided with the Tempura heroes.
Illuminoct can be found in Rifts and Ark Doors at Tatsumi-kawabata North and South. He can also be found in the Goldy Bones and Glitzy Bones battles in Enma Tournament - Oni Arena as well as in the Bushinyan (Shadowside), Kenshin Amaterasu and second Oni Orb hunt missions in PuraPura Blasters (appearing most frequently in the Keshin Amaterasu mission).
Illuminoct appears as an upgrade to Venoct instead of an original character. Venoct transforms to fight Narwail but is promptly eaten before he can do anything.
Illuminoct appears in MN069 participating in the Summer Vacation Race 2022 in order to win a wish from Lord Enma. Despite his strength, he loses alongside the other participants to Thurston.
