Nightmare

The Nightmare is a Subspecies of the already terrifying Bioraptor species which unlike their smaller relatives are much more scary and agile. they are now able to hunt during the day and have a max height of 14 meters, a wingspan of 30.2 meters and a length of 17 meters making it a very large and hostile predator. the Nightmare is a horrific predator because it notifies its prey whenever it gets in striking distance with a high pitched Shriek. the shriek sounds like a mix of a bat shriek and a ghostly howl which actually has a magical property to stun foes who hear it. their teeth are now that of a great white shark and their skin is a coal black while their eyes are a crimson red color. these creatures no longer live in deserts and instead can fly anywhere with it's large wings which blot out the sunlight. their clawed feet now can poison their prey when they slash and they are mainly found battling in the Orespawn country against other organisms such as the Mega Hercules beetle which usually is finished easily from the predator flipping it over. aside from being highly aggressive, the nightmares have high intellegence and have even have been shown to drop rocks on ankylosaurus prey in order to break their shells much like how some vultures drop rocks on eggs to get the insides. they can weigh up to 2,400 pounds when fully grown and a hatchling nightmare can be tamed by the Thanatorians of the planet with the right time and care.

## Biology

It seems that the nightmares were native to the Black Doom Desert of thanator B which is comprised of black sand only, it's black skin may be developed based off being hid under the ground and not being able to camoflauge that much meant it needed to change. thus the nightmares were formed. their shrieking is enhanced by their face shield which now is as strong and tough as diamond allowing it to break stones and hard shelled prey for a quick snack. their claws actually have an opposable thumb which suggests it might have the capability of learning how to fire a sniper rifle but it isn't sighted yet. their wings much like bat wings are very light weight and have claws on it's wings making them more equipped to wing slashing.

## Abilities/Weapons

Much like it's white brethren, the nightmare has shark-like teeth which are used to tear off limbs but since these are much larger they are used to chip away the armor and skin of their prey before feasting. their teeth now have the horrifying ability to heat up and look crimson red which internally cook their meal giving them a better taste and property. since they are much larger than the bioraptors, the nightmares are considered to swallow small prey whole such as humans and cows.

Their shrieking can cause the effect Stun which will immediately halt targets that can hear it meaning that deaf predators are their sworn enemies, wearing noise canceling headphones seem to increase the quality of the magical effect. this is a paralysis spell which lasts for only 10 seconds but it might be all it needs to kill it's prey.

Their claws having an opposable thumb allows them the possible capability of firing a rifle since it's claws can ball up into fists which has been shown to also allow it to punch prey which is usually in the back of the head,

They have a unique set of tails which have sharp spines on the end much like a porcupine but these are used for stabbing prey in their throat or spine which is usually able to impale a human with the right accuracy.

## Discovery

The Nightmare was discovered in the Orespawn country where it was seen battling a Mega Hercules beetle which it easily flipped the large beetle over and scraped it's claws on it like a human cleaning their muddy shoes on the carpet in 2206. the nightmare however already knew the humans were there with it's awesome senses. the nightmare without warning turned to the humans hiding spot and shrieked which stunned them and the predator rushed at them. 4 survived the encounter and 8 were lost to the hungry nightmare. one of them reported that "when i was being retreated I swear that Fucking thing smiled at me, it knew what it was doing"

## Trivia

The nightmare was originally made for the chaos dimension mod as a re-skin of the bioraptor.
