Description[]
The Monstrous Nightmare is surpassed in size only by a few dragon species, such as the Typhoomerang, Red Death, Bewilderbeast, Screaming Death and others. The Monstrous Nightmare has four known colors Red orange, Purple and yellow, Green and an assortment of Both and blue the dragon possesses a long, snake-like neck and tail. Adults and hatchlings are striped, but upon reaching the Titan Wing stage, they lose their stripes and gain leopard-like spots. If one clamps its mouth shut, the dragon can't open its enormous jaws, much like a crocodile. Moreover, the locomotion of the Monstrous Nightmare it can use its claw-tipped wings to "crawl" along the floor. As it is quick to anger, the Monstrous Nightmare can be counted on to be the first to arrive and the last to leave in a fight. Its signature attack strategy, known as the "Fire jacket, " is to set itself in flames (from an external source or otherwise), resulting in an intimidating offensive and defensive maneuver similar in fire. Despite their vicious nature and fierce combat abilities, it is shown that a Night Fury can defeat it through a brief but brutal fight.
Personality and Behavior[]
Strong and stubborn, Monstrous Nightmares are hot-headed and tend to attack first-ask questions later. They are known to enjoy being pinned by their horns as revealed by Snoutlout and are occasionally prone to distraction and short attention spans. Despite their rough nature, they possess a softer side and are fond of eating scented flowers. Females of the species can call upon friendly males to help protect their eggs, as many male Monstrous Nightmares (particularly Titan Wings) will kill the eggs of rival males in order to sire their own eggs with a potential mate.'
A Monstrous Nightmare is carnivorous, preferring a meat-based diet. Fish is the primary prey of a Monstrous Nightmare; Monstrous Nightmares will dive into large bodies of water (such as lakes and oceans) in order to snatch fish with their spines. When hunting on land, a Monstrous Nightmare prefers to use its stamina to chase down and exhaust prey. Despite being mainly carnivorous, Monstrous Nightmares won't hesitate to add a bit of vegetation to their diet.
However, a Monstrous Nightmare will become fatally ill if its internal flame sac gets extinguished from being overworked and may result in death. Luckily, the flame sac can be reignited from a Fire Worm Queen's venom.
Titan Wings are more aggressive and larger than typical Monstrous Nightmares, though their size is a hindrance because it cuts down on their maneuverability.
Trivia[]
- The Monstrous Nightmare's design is most likely inspired by wyverns (a type of dragon that is bipedal and has its fore legs fused with a pair of large wings), pterodactyls and crocodiles.
