Nightmare

Nightmares are apparitions of trauma created from the Darkness, often manifesting as past figures and enemies to exploit the worst fears of Guardians. First appearing in Shadowkeep, they took the form of several of The Guardian's past foes, including Crota, Fikrul and Ghaul.

Overview
Creations made from the energies seeping from the Pyramid found beneath Luna's surface yet brought to life by the Hive's forbidden profane rituals. Taking the images of various foes the Guardians have faced in the past, the Hive under Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota used the Nightmares to renew their aggression against the Last City's forces. Though found across the Solar System, the Nightmares can be encountered primarily near and in the Scarlet Keep Hive fortress.

The Nightmares are a very diverse force, taking the forms mainly of the Hive, Cabal and Fallen, bearing all the abilities of them but are much stronger and more durable. Some of the Nightmares grow so strong that they take the forms of the Guardians most dangerous foes, forcing them to conduct Nightmare Hunts to contain them.
