Nightmare Skelegons

### Description

Nightmares are not one of the biggest species but not the smallest either. They are the fourth biggest Skelegon under the Sun Titans, King Skelegons, and Moon Titans. They appear to be made of goop that most just call Nightmare goop, but the only goop made body part they have are their tentacles. They can shape shift easily without transformation magic but it takes more energy to do so depending on the form they attempt to take, so they prefer to actually use their magic instead. Their usual colors are most commonly dark colors but can have accent colors and patterns on their legs, skull, or their tentacles as well as their tail. They always have one blind socket, very rarely they have both eye sockets or both eye sockets blinded. They can also unhinge their jaws like snakes and make spine chilling and haunting wails, screams, and roars, they can even form nightmarish faces that make their eye shift into red slits or into empty eye sockets while their jaws can appear to melt together.

### Subspecies

#### Flaming Nightmares

Flaming Nightmares are a rare subspecies along with the more rare Frozen Nightmare. It is more of a mutation where instead of normal hair on their heads its fire. The flames can be defaulted in any colors and can change colors depending on the Nightmare's mood. There can also be flames on the tail that matches the flames on the skull. The only magic difference is that their fire magic is much stronger.

#### Frozen Nightmares

These types are actually more rare than the Flaming Nightmare subspecies. Because of this these monsters are often found in extremely hot environments, likely near or inside of volcanic mountains where they can keep warm from the mutation of their corrupting frost. When Frozen Nightmares get too cold they can freeze into an ice statue and eventually die.

### Daymares

This type of Nightmare is almost unheard of. There are no records of any Daymares existing, only rumors. It is known for Daymares to be much lighter in color or commonly Albino, and are more likely hatched with wings. Instead of feeding on negativity they feed on positivity. They are not aggressive and are more calm than the typical Nightmare.

### Behaviors/Habits

Nightmares aren't the nicest species along with the Hell Skelegons. They tend to stick to their own kind but will interact if they have to, they are nocturnal Skelegons and thrive in the Night where they don't have to run into other species. They of course feed on meat, mostly on deer or caribou that go through their Dead Forest. They are usually aggressive to outsiders and will shun any Hybrids they come across in their city of Lullin. The only outsider they let in was Princess Xordona after the war, let in by Queen Ghost centuries ago.

### Naming System

Their names usually represent something dark. For example; Obsidian, Black, Arachna, Banshee. Or they can be double names; Starlight, Sharpfang, Darkwhisper, Red-eyes. You can find names on the Nightmare Skelegon Names page.

### Queen

The current Queen is Queen Onnyloth. Known as 'Lady of the Black' being one of darkest specimen of the Nightmares. She had one heir before her mate King Podirrys died of illness, leaving her with her son, Prince Qavrei.
