The '''Nightmare''', {{orange|u}}, is a unique [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]]. It is a [[demon]]ic [[black unicorn]] that behaves similarly to other black unicorns, and can even be thrown [[gem]]s, but is also much stronger and possesses several unique traits.

The Nightmare has a unique headbutt attack that can cause afflictions on targets as if they had applied a cursed [[unicorn horn]], and also has four kick attacks that inflict [[fire]] damage. The Nightmare possess [[fire resistance]], [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]].

==Generation==
The Nightmare is only encountered in the [[Chaos Temple Quest]].

The Nightmare [[Corpseless|does not leave a corpse]] upon death: if killed in a manner that would ordinarily leave a [[corpse]], they will instead drop [[Nighthorn]].
