![]() ![]() No longer using Siegfried, the alternate costumes are much more severe in mutation. The armor appears fused to his claw and much more metallic in appearance. The mouth covering the chestplate from before has split open around his entire waist, connecting the legs and torso with a torrent of evil energy. What was once flesh has now fully transformed into a compound of metal and bone. As of Soulcalibur IV, Nightmare seems to have degraded into a body of dark energy. With a body to call his own at last, Nightmare returned to a suit similar to his original Soul Calibur variant, although slightly re-vamped, in Soulcalibur III, with the claw having stretched over his chest plate, possessing a rudimentary jaw lined with sharp teeth both on his shoulder and chest. In Soul Calibur II, Nightmare's armor changes design, now sporting long red hair from the back with bat wing-like ornaments on the sides replacing the horn. During the events of Soul Calibur, he was simply a suit of armor with a giant arm and horned helmet. ![]() Over the years, his appearance has progressively grown more and more demonic, as influenced by the state of Soul Edge himself. He is depicted with Soul Edge in his left hand, symbolizing his polarity with Siegfried. His prominent feature is his right arm, which has been twisted and transformed into a large three-digit claw whose flesh overlaps his entire right arm and shoulder. True to his nickname, Nightmare appears as a dark figure covered in dark blue armor that covers most of his body. In Soulcalibur V's promotional material he is referred to as The Symbol of Destruction. ![]() What lies in his soul is Damnation and Destruction. He looks down on humans, considering them "pathetic" and "foolish", having no mercy for others, even to those who serve him, as shown in his Tales of Souls path where he considers killing his loyal servant Tira. Nightmare has been portrayed in the games as a violent and ruthless creature, constantly in search of souls to restore Soul Edge. Soul Edge possessed the body of a swordsman and plots behind the scenes under the alias "Graf Dumas" as he plans to resurrect the full power of Soul Edge. The Nightmare appearing in Soulcalibur V and Soulcalibur: Lost Swords is a new being. Nightmare has been present in one form or another in most games after Soulcalibur, appearing in Soulcalibur II, Soulcalibur III, Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, Soulcalibur Legends (as an unplayable boss), Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Soulcalibur V and Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. He is the living incarnation of the cursed sword, Soul Edge, the objective of most other characters in the story. Nightmare (ナイトメア, Naitomea) is the main antagonist of the Soul series. ![]()
