Nightmare: Difference between revisions

'''Nightmare''' is a bio-mechanical organism capable of manipulating gravity encountered in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' and ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. It can generate a large amount of gravity that can impede [[Samus Aran|Samus']] movement and also draw in any weapons fire. Nightmare is also capable of firing power beams of energy and homing projectiles.

On the way to [[Sector Zero]], Samus encounters areas of the [[Cryosphere]] with irregular gravity.  It is soon revealed that this gravity is a result of the presence of Nightmare, who descends from the ceiling when Samus attempts to enter its room.  While its gravity generator spins, Samus' movement is impeded and Missiles are ineffective until she can freeze it; after that, she must fire Missiles at its mask until the cycle repeats again.  Once enough damage has been dealt, the mask will shatter, revealing Nightmare's grotesque face.  After that, it will fall to the ground, seemingly defeated.

On the way back, though, Nightmare attacks Samus once again; this time, it will send out black holes that draw in all of Samus' weapons fire.  Once defeated, its body will fall apart and rest on the ground until the post-credits sequence, when it will have disappeared, presumably transferred to the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station]] for its appearance in the next game.
