'''Nightmare Chieftains''' are [[Nightmare]]s that be found on the [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]].

==Gameplay==
[[Minor]] Nightmare Chieftains of all types can appear during [[Nightmare Containment]]<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Nightmare Containment]]''</ref> or [[Sever]]<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Sever]]''</ref> missions. They behave much like standard [[Chieftain]]s, but will drop Unstable Essence when killed, which can help deal with [[Dread Bearer]]s and bosses.

A [[Major]] [[Void]] Nightmare Chieftain will occasionally appear in the [[Royal Pools]] alongside two [[Nightmare Lurker]]s, guarding a chest<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Patrol]]: [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]]''</ref>.

[[Ultra]] [[Solar]] Nightmare Chieftains can spawn in the [[Pleasure Gardens]], where they will be accompanied by two other lesser Nightmares, either [[Major]] [[Nightmare Lurker|Lurker]]s, Major [[Nightmare Raider|Raider]]s or [[Elite]] [[Nightmare Stalker|Stalker]]s. They will stay more or less at their spawn point, bombarding passing players with their [[Scorn Blaster]], disrupting them with their [[Ether Totem|Ether Torch]]es, or smashing them with their Ultra Smash, which can knock [[Guardian]]s into walls. While players don't gain much from defeating them, removing them from the map can make other, more useful or rewarding [[World Event]]s appear in their place.
