The Nightmares were found primarily near and in the [[Scarlet Keep]] citadel, which was built in close proximity towards the Pyramid. Beyond the Moon, Nightmares had propagated on other celestial bodies, roosting in [[Lost Sector]]s as its previous enemy tenants.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Letters From Eris#Regarding the Spread of Nightmares|Regarding the Spraed of Nightmares]]''</ref>

Before the events of the ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' campaign, the Hive of the [[Hidden Swarm]] had experimented with various ways to harness the phantasmal essence of the Luna Pyramid and created a means to immunize themselves from its trauma-influenced abilities.

It is stated that the creation of Nightmares can reach across the Galaxy.
