Nightmare is a sheep/sleep-themed outlaw who enjoys both sleeping and inflicting nightmares on others.

History[]

Nightmare is first seen sleeping in a cell within the ship before Heckyl gently wakes him up. No longer asleep, he excuses himself and asks if he was snoring too loud, to which Heckyl answers he was, but his reason for awakening him is to aid him in his next plan against the Rangers.

The outlaw's first target is Shelby, as she sleeps on a pillow given by Heckyl for her to rest. Upon touching it, Nightmare enters her mind and causes her to perceive all around her as Vivix. She attacks her friends, who evade her moves, until she slashes the pillow in half at the moment it was held by Tyler. He reveals himself before the heroes and makes his escape after taunting them. The day is excruciating for them, as they cannot rest while Kendall seeks the connection of the pillow to the outlaw, eventually figuring it out.

In response to the Rangers' strategy, Fury sends out real Vivix to tire them out even more. Though exhausted, they successfully defeat them, only for Ivan to attack them, suffering from sleepwalking. Koda tracks down the pillow and rips it in two, freeing the knight.

After leaving Shelby at school, Riley is controlled by a pillow left on the helmet of his scooter by Curio.

Meanwhile, Heckyl deals with the other weary Rangers until Shelby finds him out, her suspicions all but confirmed when Snide takes over and retreats from the battle. Nightmare is then left by Fury and Curio to deal with the fatigued heroes, but fails as he is defeated both in normal size, by a combined attack of six of the Rangers, and as a giant by their three Megazords.

Nightmare's new outfit

Nightmare's new outfit along with Game Face and Professor Strickler

He was reanimated by Wrench, along with Game Face. Both of them fought by the side of Professor Strickler. He gains a new outfit, which resembles a baseball uniform. Nightmare used the Switch Eraser to switch the Red and Pink Rangers' bodies and later does the same thing with the Black and Blue Rangers. After the Rangers get shocked about getting each of their bodies swapped, the three monsters ambushed them. The Rangers try to fight back, but due to being in new bodies, they get different weapons and could not use them properly, resulting in them get a beatdown. The Green and Gold Rangers came in, but Nightmare was able to switch their bodies as well, however the two Rangers were able to use their weapons just fine and takes out the three monsters. Now overpowered, Professor Strickler and the two monsters teleported away.

They later returned in the mountaintops with the Rangers appearing. It was then revealed to be a trick for Nightmare sneak up on them and switch their bodies once more. The three monsters were about to ambush them again, but the Rangers the Dino Steel to battle the monsters and gave each of the Rangers back their personal weapon to take on the monsters and outmatched them. But right before they could finish them off however, the Silver Ranger came into battle, but Nightmare manages to switch the Silver Ranger and Professor Strickler with the Switch Eraser. After a long duel, the Pink Ranger (in the Gold Ranger's body) manages to make Nightmare drop the Switch Eraser, allowing the Red Ranger (in the Pink Ranger's body) to destroy it with the T-Rex Smasher, returning them to their rightful bodies. With the Titano Saber Final Strike, Strickler was taken out. The Red Ranger then morphed into the T-Rex Super Charge Red Ranger and with the T-Rex Super Charge Victory Maximum Strike, Nightmare and Game Face were taken out as well and later on after being enlarged by the Magna Beam, destroyed for good by the Dino Charge Ultrazord's Titano Cannon Final Strike. Tvicon TV STORY-Freaky Fightday

Personality[]

Nightmare's personality is very childlike and playful, as he treats his task as merely an excuse for fun, even prompting Heckyl to state it was a dream job for him. He is also shown to be loyal, as he reports back to base that the mission is being hindered by the endurance of the heroes, to which Fury sends Vivix to wear them down further. He can also whine constantly when things do not go his way similar to that of a little child not getting anything at a store, but he always keeps his excitement up when facing his enemies. He is shown to be good friends with Game Face and seemed to like Professor Strickler.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Smoke Transformation: Nightmare can transform into a liner pink-purple colored smoke to travel to places faster and/or to enter peoples' ears when they are sleeping and control them through his pillows.
  • Teleportation: Nightmare can teleport to any location at will.

Abilities[]

  • Strength: Despite his appearance, Nightmare is quite strong, being able to fight quite well, with Fury trusting him to finish off the Rangers.

  • Durability: Nightmare has thick skin, and he was able to survive the Rangers' powerful attacks when fought, as well as being able to avoid getting a scratch when hit by the Ptera Lightning Blitz attack, which destroyed monsters like Bones and Half-Bake.

Weaknesses[]

to be added

Arsenal[]

  • Nightmare Pillows: Nightmare is shown to use three different kinds of pillows in his arsenal and they are:
    • Illusion Pillow: The first variation is shown to induce illusions. It was used on Shelby as she rested her head on one, waking up and thinking the other Rangers were Vivix.
    • Sleeping Pillow: The second is the most used and it induces sleep, which afflicts all Rangers but Phillip, as he was absent at the time.
    • Possession Pillow: The third involves a possession-like control triggered by Curio on Riley, which nearly caused him to hand over his Energem to Fury.
  • Switch Eraser: In the episode "Freaky Fightday", Nightmare carries an eraser-like switching device that belongs to Professor Strickler and allows him to switch his enemies' bodies.
  • Fists: Besides his pillows, Nightmare can also use his fists for combat.

Notes[]

  • In Dino Super Charge, Nightmare's costume has slightly been modified from the Kyoryuger version. For example, the Deboth logo on Debo Akkumoon's chest has been placed directly below Nightmare's head so it is barely visible.
  • While Iceage is the first monster to be fought in Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, Nightmare is the first original monster to be fought by the Dino Charge Rangers in that season.
  • Nightmare is the second Dino Super Charge monster to lack any firepower/projectile-type attacks canonically, the first being Puzzler.
  • In the episode Freaky Fightday, Nightmare's voice gets a slight lighter pitch, now sounding more female.
    • Coincidentally, Nightmare's costume is pink.
  • If one looks closely at Nightmare's head, it looks very much like a sheep as it is all puffy like a cloud, with sheep ears located on the sides of his head and ram-like horns on the sides of his mouth and chin. Inside of his mouth is a sheep's head. Historically, people would count sheep to go to sleep, and considering that he is sleep-themed like the previous two sleep-themed monsters before him, it makes sense.
    • Also, when ever Nightmare says the word Dream, he would say it in a tone like Dre-e-eam, similar to that of a sheep.
    • Nightmare will also laugh in a similar manner to a sheep saying "Bhaa!".
  • Like with Somnibot and Rhinosnorus, Nightmare's puns, metaphors and jokes are based on sleep and bedtime.
  • Nightmare is one of three Power Rangers monsters that uses sleep as a motif; the other two are Somnibot from Power Rangers Zeo and Rhinosnorus from Power Rangers Samurai.
  • Nightmare shares the same name as another Nightmare.
