'''Nightmares''' are [[Shade|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]].
