'''Nightmares''' are phantom-like apparitions of trauma created from the [[Darkness]], often manifesting as past figures and enemies to exploit the worst fears of [[Guardians]]. First appearing in ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', they took the form of several of [[The Guardian]]'s past foes, including [[Crota]], [[Fikrul]] and [[Ghaul]]. | '''Nightmares''' are phantom-like apparitions of trauma created from the [[Darkness]], often manifesting as past figures and enemies to exploit the worst fears of [[Guardians]] and other beings.

Initial discovery of the Pyramid was made by the Hive that they experimented with its phantasmal essences using forbidden profane rituals, including the [[Cryptoglyph]] and the [[Scarlet Keep]], to immunize from its trauma-inducing influence. In the absence to bring Nightmares forth themselves, the Hive opted instead to made use of the Nightmares conjured by Eris and the Guardians, taking the images of various foes and tragic phantoms they have faced in the past. The [[Hidden Swarm]], under the command of the Daughters of Crota, are even implied having a plot to recreate the fallen [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] as a Nightmare to renew their aggression against the Guardians | Initial discovery of the Pyramid was made by the Hive that they experimented with its phantasmal essences using forbidden profane rituals, including the [[Cryptoglyph]] and the [[Scarlet Keep]], to immunize from its trauma-inducing influence.

Initially thought to be limited to targeting traumas related to Guardians, a week after containment efforts began, an [[Nightmare of Horkis, Fear of Mithrax|extremely powerful Nightmare]] was discovered in the [[Anchor of Light]] drawing power from [[Mithrax, the Forsaken]].
