Notes[]
- Nightmare's name, obviously, is a play on the fact that a nightmare is something unpleasant and that a mare is an adult female horse. But "adult, female horse" is not actually what "mare" in the word "nightmare" refers to. In Germanic folklore, a mare or nightmare is a demonic spirit thought to sit on people when they are asleep and cause them a bad rest, manifesting as a bad dream or even sleep paralysis. It is a coincidence that this creature is called a mare, and a female horse is called a mare, too, as the two words have different etymological histories.
- In "Fright On!", it is released that she is 3 years old.
- Nightmare resembles the "Blue Mustang" statue outside the Denver Airport. Famously named "Bluecifer", the Blue mustang statue shares alot of the same characteristics and may have been a source of inspiration.
