Nightmare, also known as Nitemare in the Nintendo Entertainment System version, is an enemy in the original Final Fantasy. There is a fixed encounter against Nightmares in the Citadel of Trials, but it can also be fought as a random encounter in the Flying Fortress and Chaos Shrine.
They are not very powerful enemies, but can inflict the darkness status through their Snort attack, although its accuracy is low. Physical attacks are more than enough to defeat them, but if the player wishes to defeat them quickly, then they may use ice-based attacks such as Blizzara and utilize the Black Robe to conserve MP.
