Nightmare of Skolas, Kell of Kells

"We are all consumed by that which eats away at us. For Skolas, it was his own hubris. He pursued complete control over all Houses of the Fallen, and through his misguided conquest, many perished. Skolas's memory serves as a permanent reminder of all the lives lost at the whim of a single Kell. No matter how hard the Pyramid may try, we will not cower."

The Nightmare of Skolas, Kell of Kells is the Nightmare version of Skolas, Kell of Kells, who tried to bring all of the Fallen Houses under his control, but failed. Now recreated as a Nightmare, representing the Essence of Pride, Guardians are forced to face against the Wolf Kell once more in the repeating Nightmare Hunts.

Overview
The Nightmare of Skolas, Kell of Kells is encountered as the final boss in the Nightmare Hunt: Pride, serving as the herald of the Essence of Pride, faced within the engine room of the Traitor's Ketch, summoned once the Guardian gets close to its essence. The Nightmare will call upon Fallen for backup, as well as two Nightmares in the form of Fallen to defend it. The Nightmare carries a Scorch Cannon for ranged combat, blasting Solar rockets which can stick for a second and detonates. It will also utilizes its teleportation ability to evade gunfire and the Ultra Smash attack whenever a player gets too close. However whenever it loses a large amount of health, it will make itself immune to anymore attacks and summons two Nightmare Fallen, in order to make itself open to damage, the Guardian must kill off the two Nightmares to allow Skolas to be no longer immune. Once this has been done twice, the Nightmare will be fully open to damage. After it is killed, the Nightmare will drop the Pride Essence which is required to utilize to make Dreambane Armor.

The Nightmare can also reappear in reruns of the Nightmare Hunt and the Altars of Sorrow, acting as a rotating final boss of the last encounter, in which it utilizes the same abilities, save it for it be able to summon Hive instead of Fallen, and when it losses a third of its health, it will summon Hive Nightmares when it enters its immunity form, requiring to kill the Hive Nightmares, or allow it to sacrifice itself, although it will speed up the timer before it ends the Event.
