	Atola is derived from Atra, Latin for 'Dull Black'. Nox means 'Night' and Philius is derived from Filius, meaning 'Son'. So a more accurate name would be Atra Nox Filius, though the twisting fits with the Ys series' love of taking a real name and changing it slightly while still leaving it recognizable.

Atola is derived from Atra, Latin for 'Dull Black'. Nox means 'Night' and Philius is derived from Filius, meaning 'Son'. So a more accurate name would be Atra Nox Filius, though the twisting fits with the Ys series' love of taking a real name and changing it slightly while still leaving it recognizable.

夜から生まれし黒き者＜

==Appearances==
* Atola is the final alchemical creation of Zola in Ys IX, a perfect being created from Adol's own memories and the powers of divinity that he has held, with the intention of making someone powerful enough to control the [[Grimwald Night]] phenomenon. He serves as the first phase of the game's final battle and his title is Black Being Born of the Night (夜から生まれし黒き者), which is fairly close to the Latin words that compose his name. Upon his defeat he transforms into [[Anima Ergastulum]].

==Trivia==
* Even with the proper spellings, Atola's name is not particularly good Latin. Two alternative renderings that better convey the intended meaning are Filius Noctis Atrae ('Son of the Black Knight') and Atra Nocte Filium ('Black One Born of the Night').
