Numan is a boss in Densetsu no Starfy 2. She is known for draining water out of any area and sucking it all up. She is first seen in a flashback from Orisu in Stage 5-1 (Large Tree's Forest). Numan and Puchi Ogura #5 are responsible for separating Orisu from Korisu. In the flashback, Puchi Ogura #5 puts a cork at the bottom of a deep pool which Orisu and Korisu used to swim through, whilst Numan sucks up all of the water. This prevented Orisu and Korisu from reaching each other until Starfy removes the cork with three Star Spins, allowing water to fill up to the top again.

Numan and Puchi Ogura #5 appear.

Starfy and Moe find Puchi Ogura #5 with Numan in Stage 5-5. Puchi Ogura #5 asks Numan to suck up all of the water in a body of water which Starfy is in, causing Moon to gasp for air, though she is more concerned about it being bad for her skin. Starfy is also unable to swim to the top and enter a door to the next room. Starfy solves the problem by removing another cork and Moon joins them to rescue Mitsugasago, who had been kidnapped by Puchi Ogura #5 who had gotten tired of waiting for a prince, taking one for herself. (Though Moon states herself that she's only rescuing him so he can buy her an accessory.)

After attempting to delay Starfy with a puzzle where he has defeat two insects of the same colour shown on a block, Starfy, Moe, and Moon make it to the imprisioned Mitsugasago. After Moon asks him if the accessory is safe, he says that Puchi Ogura #5 locked him up here and that she may have the key to both the cell door and the locked door further in the room. Puchi Ogura #5 figures out what Starfy is trying to do, and runs around with the key in her possession. When Starfy Star Spins into her, he grabs the Cell Key and causes her to chase him to try to get it back. After 20 seconds, she'll get angry and leave the room, allowing Starfy to free Mitsugasago and proceed to fight Puchi Ogura #5 and Numan.

In the boss battle with Numan, she will attempt to suck up Starfy and can create a current of water to try and pull Starfy inside of her mouth. The strength of the current becomes stronger when Numan has a low amount of health points left. If Starfy is sucked up or tries to attack Numan from the front, he is spit out and loses one health point. Numan can hide in sand to prevent Starfy from being able to attack her until she comes out of it. Numan can also create fake mud clones of herself, which cannot suck up Starfy. If Starfy attacks one, it will vanish after one Star Spin.
