Nightmare

Nightmares are a species of magical beasts that live worldwide.

Appearance
Nightmares, for all intents and purposes, look like horses, however, there are a few things that separate them from mundane horses. For one thing, nightmares are almost always going to be black in color. However, the one thing that is apparent in their separation is the fact that their manes, tails, and fetlocks are replaced by bright, raging flames. Also, their eyes are bright, flaming red, and their hooves also glow bright red.

Behavior
Nightmares are fearsome creatures, and are usually the cause for various problems around farms, towns, etc. When people see a nightmare, similarly to banshees, they will probably be plagued by nightmares afterward, or worse, just die of fright. Nightmares are wild creatures, and will only bond with someone who shows true courage, which is not the absence of fear, but the knowledge that fear exists, and the ability to fight through the fear. Nightmares, though fearsome to most beings, are surprisingly good parents. The foals, similar to mundane horses, are able to walk around 90 minutes after they are born, and will stay with their mother until they are old enough to strike out on their own.
