Nightmares are enemies that debut in ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' and are primarily encountered in [[Lost Sector]]s and during endgame activities like [[Nightmare Hunts]] and [[Altars of Sorrow]] on the [[Moon]]. They can vary in difficulty; such as [[Elite]], [[Major]], and [[Ultra]], and 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 Major mob enemies that can respawn if destroyed, most often when boss health reaches halfway and if there are no current Nightmare enemies standing then.

[[Ultra]]-tier Greater Nightmares, especially the ones found in Nightmare Hunts, have an additional mechanic that renders them intangible with immunity to damage in an reddish-black ethereal form after they spawn additional Nightmare mobs; forcing players to clear them first to initiate the next damage phase.

Nightmares have an chance of dropping ''"Phantasmal Fragments"'' and even rarer ''"Phantasmal Cores"'' as a resource to craft weapons and [[Dreambane Armor]] at the [[Lectern of Enchantment]], which are unlocked from '''Nightmare Essence''' weapon bounties (which can drop from bosses during [[Nightmare Hunts]] and randomly on the [[Moon]]). Even certain armor mods equipped to Dreambane armor are effective in both warding and boosting damage against Nightmare enemies.
