The Nightmare

I based this off of the mythical creature. However I do not have the time to hand draw my idea so I will write in full detail what it is.

~ general
Many a night people wake up screaming from terrible dreams. After they awaken they hear the hoof beats of the dreaded Nightmare. Many have claimed to have seen the Nightmare galloping through the dark forests in the dead of night but nobody can be positive it was the Nightmare.

Nightmares are generally evil and hate most living things. However they can be trully dependable to a Magi if the Magi knows how to handle a Nightmare.
