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.
Overview
Nightmares are the phantasmal creations made from Darkness-attuned of the Pyramid found beneath Luna's surface by the Hive and then became active by Eris Morn upon her discovery.
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. Taking the images of various foes the Guardians have faced in the past, the Hidden Swarm under the command of the Daughters of Crota, used the Nightmares to renew their aggression against the Last City's forces.
Though found across the Solar System, the Nightmares can be encountered primarily near and in the Scarlet Keep citadel.
The Nightmares are a very diverse force, taking the forms mainly of the Hive, Cabal and Fallen, bearing all their abilities only made much stronger and more durable with unstable phantasmal essence and can even regenerate their injuries. Armor forged with said essence are the only known vulnerability against the Nightmares.
Some of the Nightmares grow so strong that they take the forms of the Guardians most dangerous foes, each representing a certain aspect of trauma from their past and forcing them to conduct Nightmare Hunts to contain them.
