Lore & Description

Appearance

The Fey Nightmare is a shadowy, shifting figure with wisps of dark mist trailing behind it. Its eyes glow with an eerie, violet light, and its body appears to melt into the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly. The air around it feels charged with an unsettling presence.

Behavior & Origins

These sinister fey creatures prey on the fears and nightmares of mortals, entering the dreams of their victims to drive them to madness. They often serve as guardians for powerful fey lords or roam the borders of the Feywild, leaving a trail of desolation in their wake.
