The Nightmares are a very diverse force, taking the forms of the [[Hive]], [[Cabal]], [[Vex]] and [[Fallen]], bearing all their abilities only made much stronger and more durable with unstable phantasmal essence and can even regenerate their injuries. Some of the more powerful Nightmares grow so strong that they take the forms of the Guardians' most dangerous foes, each representing a certain aspect of trauma from their past and forcing them to conduct Nightmare Hunts to contain them. They can spawn lesser Nightmares to aid them in battle and become incorporeal from damage.
