'''Nightmares''' are | '''Nightmares''' are apparitions of [[Darkness]] utilized as a security system by the [[Black Fleet]] for psychological warfare; manifested as past figures and enemies to exploit the trauma and worst fears of [[Guardian]]s and other victims. 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]]. | ||
