History[]

Shadows of the Master[]
Jewel of Broome calls Britta a 'nodnap' when they first meet. Seeing Britta's confusion at the term, Jewel explains to her what a nodnap is.[2]
Two Moons[]
Jewel continues to call Britta 'nodnap' or 'little nodnap' on occasion.[3]
Anatomy[]
The nodnap is a large ground-dwelling bird covered in grey feathers with two legs and a beak.[1]

The nodnap prefers to run than fly, though they are still considerably slow and easily caught. They graze the Plain in flocks of up to a hundred.[1]
Trivia[]
