Generation

The Nightmare is only encountered in the Chaos Temple Quest, where it is randomly placed in the Earth Temple.

The Nightmare does not leave a corpse upon death: unless it was killed in a manner that would not ordinarily leave a corpse (e.g. disintegration, digesting, hitting it with a Silver Flame weapon at any point), they will drop Nighthorn.

Origin

As with many other monsters in the Chaos Temple Quest, Nightmare is based on a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series of games that often inflicts status debuffs on the player's party - this monster is in turn based on the nightmare from Dungeons & Dragons.

The Final Fantasy Nightmare makes its debut in the first Final Fantasy game, where a fixed encounter against the monster occurs in the Citadel of Trials, and it also appears in the Chaos Shrine of the past.
