Nightmare: Difference between revisions

(Either incomplete or incorrect info, Nightmare Fallen will still attack Hive, Nightmare Hive will still attack Fallen, and even the Nightmare of Zydron summons in Sol Divisive Vex during Nightmare Hunt: Servitude. And in the Sever Grief/Forgiveness the Nightmares attack the Avaricious Treasurer which is just a basic Loyalist.)

'''Nightmares''' are apparitions of [[Darkness]] created by the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] for psychological warfare; manifested as past figures and enemies to exploit the trauma and worst fears of [[Guardian]]s and other beings. First appearing following Eris Morn's discovery of the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] beneath the [[Moon]], the Nightmares include phantoms of some of [[Guardian]]s' deadliest foes, including [[Crota]], [[Fikrul]], [[Ghaul]] and [[Uldren Sov]].

According to [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], Nightmares are malleable creations of the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]], not truly alive but made of "chaos, negation, and the raw things found existing in spaces between thought and fear."<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Item Description: [[Heretic#Lore|Heretic]]''</ref> They are extracted from the psyche of targets, wreaking havoc by provoking grief and trauma as well as presenting a physical threat.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Letters from Eris]] - [[Lore:Letters from Eris#Regarding Nightmares|Regarding Nightmares]]''</ref>

Nightmares are usually surrounded by a miasma of crimson reddish-black [[Darkness]] with radiating ghostly tendrils. Eris initially surmised that the true purpose of the Nightmares was a tool to manipulate and exploit [[Guardian]]s at their weakest; for the explicit temptation towards the [[Pyramids]] and their [[Stasis|promises of power]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Letters from Eris]] - [[Lore:Letters from Eris#Regarding the Pyramid|Regarding the Pyramid]]''</ref> This would be recanted much later when she revealed that the Nightmares were in fact a defense mechanism to drive away those who would tamper with the lunar Pyramid.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/05/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUL5Vd5rleI Bound in Sorrow | Formulating a Plan]''</ref>

The Nightmares are found primarily near and in the [[Scarlet Keep]] citadel, which was built in close proximity to 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:Letters from Eris]]: - [[Lore:Letters from Eris#Regarding the Spread of Nightmares|Regarding the Spread of Nightmares]]''</ref> [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], the exiled [[Cabal]] [[Emperor]], would weaponize the Nightmares to his bidding by forming a psychic bond between the dormant lunar Pyramid and his massive flagship, the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]].
