Biography
The Nightmare of Crota serves as the final boss of the Shadowkeep campaign after the Guardians are coaxed into entering the Pyramid beneath the Hive Scarlet Keep. After the Guardian succeeds in destroying the Nightmares of Dominus Ghaul and Fikrul, the Fanatic, the Guardian finally confronts the final Nightmare of one of their most dangerous foes. The Guardian repeats history as they defeat the Hope Eater Nightmare in a manner similar to his final defeat, allowing the Guardian to reach the center of the Pyramid, gaining an audience with the Darkness itself.
Following this encounter, the Guardians, under Eris Morn's instructions, conduct Nightmare Hunts to keep the Pyramid's influence at bay. The Pyramid's power continually brings back the Nightmare of Crota, representing the Essence of Despair, forcing the Guardians to battle with the Hive Prince again. After a daring struggle, the Guardians use Crota's blades again to weaken and then finally banish the Nightmare.
Appearance
The Nightmare of Crota looks much different than his original appearance in Crota's End, with a far more physical look with chitin and armor, instead of the ethereal and unique appearance he last appeared with. Along with that, his color scheme was changed from light green with some yellow hue on his horns, to a pure green armor with a dark green skin color underneath. Along with this, he is slimmer and slightly smaller compared to his original appearance, with his proportions being more in line with other Ultra rank Knights. Crota's head also was slimmed down and the horns were adjusted upwards with added chin guards around his mouth, with his mouth proper looking more in line of most Hive.
