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 [[Darkness]] that extrudes tendrils radiating away from the Nightmare at its core. Eris surmised that the purpose of the Nightmares is to be a tool to manipulate and exploit the [[Guardians]] at their weakest; enough to turn to the [[Pyramids]] and their [[Darkness|promises of power]].<ref>[[Lore:Letters from Eris#Regarding the Pyramid|Regarding the Pyramid]]</ref>


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.
