## History

## Description

```

### Personnality

BigBadDream is a vicious, sadistic, evil and manipulative monster. He takes pleasure in tormenting SamSam by giving him his worst nightmares.

BigBadDream also displays very eccentric, self-confident and mocking behaviour most of the time; however, he often shows fear during his defeats.

BadBadDream's pride also turns out to be a weakness, as when he is manipulated by SuperJulie and Miaou; he gets angry at the trickery of which he has been victim, only to be immediately defeated by SuperJulie.

### Powers, Abilities and Weaknesses

#### Powers and Abilities

Strength Level: 2B;remote control: 2A; Full power unknown, at least all power depends on the fantasy of a BigBadDream

As the embodiment of SamSam's nightmares, BigBadDream is an appallingly powerful being. His main ability is to launch large-scale illusions to deceive his enemy; he also demonstrated the ability to manipulate reality to a certain extent, shown when he extends the stairs of SamSam's house. He also can remove abilities. BigBadDream can create creatures with minds and souls identical to the original. BigBadDream has his own world, where he sometimes moves SamSam to mock him.

BigBadDream's other powers include space flight, teleportation (of himself or others), shape change, portals creation and intangibility. He also demonstrated to be immortal and most likely capable of regenerating.

Finally, BigBadDream is a very intelligent being, master of manipulation and deception, as he has proven on many occasions against SamSam as well as against BeastlyBeard.

#### Weaknesses

Despite his immense powers and intelligence, BigBadDream has several weaknesses.

His main weakness is to take him at his own game; for example, by taking away all the fun he takes in tormenting his victim, or on the contrary to make him laugh so much that he will end up deflating (literally).

BigBadDream is also susceptible to manipulation, and his pride is also likely to offer a way out to defeat him.

On the physical level, the hyptonizing ray of SuperJulie is able to defeat him easily; this is what happens in the episode Girl Power, where the heroine traps him in a bubble and then bursts him, defeating the monster.

## Trivia

* His first appearance was in the first series of SamSam comics, where he was yellow in color.
* Some colours become darker during his nightmares, such as red.
* He seems to have a particular pleasure in tormenting SamSam, probably because of the more pronounced naivety of the young cosmic hero.
* Despite his lack of real dangerousness against SamSam (unlike BeastlyBeard who threatened his life and that of his father on several occasions), some of BigBadDream's tricks can take a rather violent psychological threat, such as the time he made SamSam believe that his parents wanted to adopt SamSam in his place, and even made it look like SamTeddy's death.
* SamTeddy is usually either the first to notice BigBadDream's presence or the one who is most suspicious of the monster.
* In episode 83, BigBadDream got his own little song (feat. SamSam, SuperJulie, SweetPea, SamTeddy and Leon-Leon).
* BigBadDream is the strongest villain and character in the SamSam universe, with the 2nd strongest character being King Marthial the 1st, the 3rd being BeastlyBeard, and the 4th being the Wettabeds.
* In season 3, it is possible that BigBadDream has become deceased because a skeleton that resembles him is seen in Miss Bridget's classroom in one of the corners.
