Page 1: Observations
"Being a nightmare transformed by long years of living in lands saturated with Mist, preferring to inhabit ruins and other places starved of light. Mist rises in clouds about its body, and pours incessantly from its mane and hooves."

Page 2: Aletap Rumors
''"You've heard of the, er, shall we call it "military-minded land" in the south importing weapons of all kinds, right? Why, it sounds like they're after pointed horns and maggoty flesh to buy. I don't know what they could possibly want to use them for, but they say they've been trading them for their famed tridents, so they must really want them." Uyag, Illusionist''

Battle
The Darkmare is one of several enemies that respawn only when certain conditions are met. Only one appears in the entirety of the game, in the Ward of the Sword-King in the Stilshrine of Miriam. In order to fulfill the required headcount to fill out the Bestiary, the player cannot repeatedly respawn the Darkmare by zoning over two areas (the trick for many, many other enemies). Instead, a respawn can be forced by saving and then resetting, preferably at the crystal in the neighboring zone, the Walk of Revelation; or by leaving the area completely (i.e. teleporting to another location and then teleporting back).
