Nightmares are a type of creature in Dungeons and Dragons with a challenge rating of 3. They have natural armor, a high constitution score, and immunity to fire. Their dexterity and charisma scores are also notable. Nightmares are considered to be neutral evil and have the ability to speak and understand languages.
