Later, they seek to capture Fuwa and use her as a vessel in Ophiuchus' ritual. Their leading members are based on yokai from Japanese mythology. Their name is derived from the word "Notto", meaning take over (乗っ取る).

Leaders

Template:Nihongo
Template:Voiced by[10]
The leader of the Notraiders and the primary antagonist of the series, Ophiuchus is the exiled 13th Star Princess, who became disillusioned with the universe her fellow princesses created when they voted against her to bestow half of their collective power to all life in the form of imagination. This influenced her to turn on them, and they exiled her, but she eventually regained her strength and assumed the identity of Darknest, a snake-armored figure with an Uwabami-like serpent wrapped around her body. She eventually discards her disguise and minions, capturing Fuwa and the Star Princesses to conduct a ritual to unmake the universe and take away its light. After surviving the Star Princesses's gambit to destroy her through Fuwa, Ophiuchus is ultimately defeated by the Pretty Cures and accepts her loss, while vowing to return if things become twisted again.
Template:Nihongo
Template:Voiced by[11]
The second-in command of the Notraiders, he is an oni-like alien who became Darknest's follower after his planet was destroyed and she promised him power. He possesses immense physical strength and has a bracelet that can increase the commanders' powers. During his final battle, he battles the Cures until he learns of Darknest's identity as Ophiuchus and the one who destroyed his home planet. Garouoga attempts to kill Ophiuchus before she places him and the commanders under her control by twisting their imagination; the Cures purify them before Aiwarn takes them to safety. In the epilogue, he and the other Notraiders are shown to have converted their former headquarters into a botanic garden.

Template:Nihongo
Template:Voiced by[12]
A kappa-like commander who wields a lightsaber-like dual blade. He originates from a planet that was destroyed as a result of other races exploiting its naïve people, which led to conflict. This caused Kappard to believe that people from other worlds are incapable of coexisting with each other, and his desire for revenge led him to join the Notraiders. While initially seeking to capture Fuwa by any means, he is also a warrior who considers the Pretty Cures as worthy opponents. After being empowered by Darknest, his blade can now take the form of other weapons by absorbing other peoples' imagination. Given a final chance, he confronts Hikaru by using his own imagination to further power up his weapon, but the Cures manage to defeat him, only for Darknest to take him back to the headquarters. During his final battle, he clashes with the Cures until he discovers Darknest's identity as Ophiuchus. He attempts to kill her with his allies, but she puts them under her control by twisting their imagination. The Cures are able to purify them before Aiwarn takes them to safety. In the epilogue, he and the other Notraiders are shown to have converted their former headquarters into a botanic garden.
Template:Nihongo
Template:Voiced by[13]
A playful tengu-like commander armed with a fan who originated from Planet Guten. She joined the Notraiders after becoming an outcast due to her small nose, since Guten's people value longer noses.

She often use the Notrei as Human chess pieces to fight the Cures, and after receiving an upgrade from Darknest, she gains the ability to seal a person inside a Nottorei by twisting their imagination. As shown in episodes 39, 42 and 43, she has a rivalry with Elena because they have similar pasts of being ostracized. When she attacks her homeland, Elena understands her feelings and attempt to reconcile with her, but she refuses. During her final battle, she clashes with the Cures until she discovers Darknest's identity as Ophiuchus. She attempts to kill her with her allies, but she puts them under her control by twisting their imagination. The Cures are able to purify them before Aiwarn takes them to safety. In the epilogue, she and the other Notraiders are shown to have converted their former headquarters into a botanic garden.

A brat Hitotsume-kozō-like commander who is armed with a laser pistol and sees others as subjects in her experiments. She was responsible for petrifying the denizens of Planet Rainbow, and has developed a way to corrupt the Princess Star Color Pens into Template:Nihongo. Aiwarn uses the Dark Pens to create Notriggers from her targets' imaginations, with their strength boosted after Darknest enhances Aiwarn's power. Following the revelation that Bakenyan is one of Yuni's disguises, Aiwarn seeks revenge on her for being kicked out of the Notraiders, while modifying Yuni's spaceship into a personal transforming robot called Aiwarn Robo Unit 16. She makes numerous attempts on Yuni's life until she is stopped from petrifying Planet Uranei's residents, with Yuni apologizing to Aiwarn once realizing she had no home other than with the Notraiders. Aiwarn leaves after declining Yuni's offer to live on Earth with her and the other Cures.
