Nightmares are drawn from the psyche of Guardians and other beings, appearing as fallen foes or allies associated with painful or traumatic memories. They resemble their living counterparts flawlessly and share all of their abilities, but are shrouded in a miasma of red-black haze that extrudes tendrils radiating away from the Nightmare at its core | Nightmares are drawn from the psyche of Guardians and other beings, appearing as fallen foes or allies associated with painful or traumatic memories.

Though found across the Solar System, the Nightmares can be encountered primarily near and in the [[Scarlet Keep]] citadel. Beyond the Moon, they roost in [[Lost Sector]]s taking the forms of its previous enemy tenants. | Though found across the Solar System, the Nightmares can be encountered primarily near and in the [[Scarlet Keep]] citadel.

Nightmares are [[Major]] and [[Ultra]] enemies in [[Destiny 2]] and are primarily encountered in [[Lost Sector]]s and during [[endgame]] activities like [[Nightmare Hunts]] and [[Alters of Sorrow]] on the [[Moon]]. They often drop phantasmal orbs upon death that grants players an ''Unstable Essence'' damage buff on all other Nightmare enemies for ten seconds. Nightmare bosses are often accompanied by two Nightmare infantry that can respawn if destroyed by the players, most often if the boss health reached halfway and there are no Nightmare enemies standing then. | |||
Certain armor mods, [[Dreambane Armor]], and even weapons forged at the [[Lectern of Enchantment]] are effective in both warding and boosting damage against Nightmare enemies. | |||
