Oogie Boogie

**Oogie Boogie** is the evil spirit of nightmares and a villain Princess Luna defeated and imprisoned in Tartarus.

## Personality

Oogie Boogie, although having a funny name, is not fun at all. He is very wicked and enjoys creating nightmares just for the pleasure of doing it.

He is shown to be also very confident in his own abilities, believing to be able to defeat Princess Luna in the Dream World.

Oogie also seems to be very afraid of Heartbeat, as he beg her to not hurt him.

## Skills

Oogie Boogie's ability is all in the Dream Realm. Inside of it, he can control any dream he wants and easily turn it into a nightmare. He can also trap his victims in their own nightmares and not let them wake up. He is so powerful in this realm he was able to face Princess Luna almost equally. He can also take others with him to the Dream World.

Since his release from Tartarus, the Lord of Chaos increased his power. Now, he can control his victims' conscience by putting them in a dreamwalking state that allows him to control them like puppets. Oogie Boogie can also expell a sleeping powder.

It’s revealed that the Lord of Chaos enhance his powers even more by the time of the capture of Six-Tails, allowing him to make the awaken beings to have nightmares, causing them pain.
