Nightmare
Game: Sonic Unleashed
Affiliation: Dark Gaia

The Nightmare (ナイトメア) is an enemy in the night stages of Sonic Unleashed and one of Dark Gaia's minions. The most ubiquitous of Dark Gaia's monsters, these turquoise-black humanoid enemies have thick forearms and spiked backs, contributing to a bizarre, otherworldly appearence. Nightmares frequently attack in packs, appearing en masse in puffs of supernatural smoke, and Sonic is forced to smash his way through a whole lot of these standardised footsoldiers on his quest to fix the planet.

Nightmares lack any sort of projectile offense, and instead attack the Werehog by means of their stretchy arms. A pack of Nightmares will sometimes be spearheaded by a Deep Nightmare; their bulkier, stronger cousins.

Quotes

Under Dark Gaia's influence, people's ambient fears, doubts and anger manifest into these monsters.

They aren't very bright, acting only on a base drive to hurt those nearby.

— Encyclopedia, 360/PS3 version

The lowest of the low, Nightmares are the quintessental chump baddies.
