Nightmare

**Nightmares** are enemies within Dawn of the New Hour. Their actual origin is unknown, although several people have theorized the reason they exist. The Elder in New Woodbury mentions that Nightmares could be caused from people's bad dreams, but also mentions that they could be linked to the Opening.

The Hooded Man seems to be able to hold control over some of them, or at least is able to command them.

## Design

Each Nightmare has a different design, however, they keep a very fantasy-like look. Each one is colorful, and most are bright despite their name. Nightmares also have distinct eye differences as well.

## Datamining

The following enemies were found in a private release of the Aurum demo. It is unknown what many of these look like, or how accurate the stats of each one are, as most of them not featured in the demo outright don't have more than base stats and don't have images to go with them. It is also unknown if any of these will actually show up in the final product of the game.

These enemies are left over from base-RPG Maker:

* Vampire
* Succubus

Other enemies found in the Database most likely are developer-specific, or testing enemies.

* "Demo"
* Three versions of "Items", possible a developer enemy to test out items or item drops
* "DEV\_Test Slime" and "DEV\_Test Slime 2"
* "Test 1" x3 (enemy331, 332, 333)
* "3n$my"
* EXP

## Trivia

* Nightmares seem to have conflicting lore in-universe. While some characters say the Nightmares were created from the actual nightmares of children, others say they arrived through the rift between worlds.
* All Nightmares are being hand-drawn by Sullivan Miranda.
* Despite the *Kingdom Hearts* references within *Dawn of the New Hour*, these Nightmares are not related to "Dream Eater Nightmares" from *Dream Drop Distance*.
