Nightmare
The mounts of the Calvary of the Fallen are nightmares. With their riders, they are fell beasts, killing at the behest of their masters. Without a hell-wrought bridle, nightmares serve only their own wild lusts and rages. Unlike normal horses, nightmares are intelligent and use their form, that of a normal horse, to confuse the unwary. Able to snort fire and rend flesh with their savage bite, a nightmare should never be approached as a mount, lest the rider is prepared for the longest journey.
A popular mount for Tamers. (Animal Taming) They are very aggresive, and like a Dragon have the ability to breath fire.

Control slots
While pre-Publish 97 nightmares always spawned with a requirement of two control slots, fresh tames now require either two or three control slots. Data gathered from 94 nightmares in the Ki-Rin Passage on Europa (April 26th 2018) suggests that the spawn rate of two-slot nightmares is about 30%. Although both the two and the three slot variants were seen spawning with similar Hit Point values, ranging from 298-315, there was a considerable difference in their Strength values. Two slot nightmares spawned with 251-319 STR, whereas the three slot ones were seen with 309-524 STR.
Hues
During the Shadow's Awakening, Echoes of the Blighted Realm event in 2024 five new hues were added and only available during the event.
These five hues had five variations within that hue making it more like thirty specialty hues.
