Overview
Nu can be found in the Cursed Woods of 600 A.D., the Hunting Grounds of 65,000,000 B.C., and in Enhasa of 12,000 B.C.. At Cursed Woods and Hunting Grounds they only appear when it rains. Nu work as a merchants or assistants during 12,000 B.C. Nu can also be found scattered throughout the game. Other Nu include: Nu Guardian, Nu Master, and Pink Nu.
Strategy
Nu have two Head-Butt attacks, one which reduces a character's HP to 1, and another which does exactly 1 point of damage. The Nu found in the Prehistoric Age can be a good source of TP early on in the game. Nu there are also a good way to get ingredients needed to purchase equipment in Prehistory. However, the Nu only appears when it rains. You must find Nu before the rain stops. If you do not, then Nu will leave until the next rain. The first time you defeat the Prehistory Nu, he will reward you with a Third Eye .
In the secret room of Enhasa, there are 6 Nu. Each will attack random party members with one of the two Head-Butt attacks.
Non-Combat Nu
There are Nu working as merchants in Antiquity, Arena of the Ages, and Black Omen. There is a Nu in the Laruba Village that can change any character's name. A Nu can be found inside the Northern Shrine. The 2 Nu that appear in the Black Omen do different things to assist you.The one on the left hand side of the DS screen lets you buy and sell things, while the Nu on the right offers to let you escape the Black Omen.
Origins
At least one Nu was built by Belthasar. A second specifically mentions him. It is unclear whether or not all Nu were built by him. If they were, their presence in eras outside of Antiquity could be explained by the same rifts that transported Schala, Janus, and the 3 Guru's.
Chrono Cross
Belthasar's Nu assistant seems to have carried over, as a BeachBum (thought to represent a Nu) resides in the library of Viper Manor where the Neo Epoch is kept. He can change the names of members of Serge's party. It is apparent that a Nu was at one time planned to be a playable character; its dialogue icon appears in the Chrono Cross Demo disc's data and its design is distinctly Nu (not BeachBum).

"All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu.
This is the truth! This is my belief!
...At least for now."
