Nightmares also known as the horses of Malal are another steed of Malal. Looking more akin to the horses employed by Imperium [[Rough riders|Rough Riders]], these beasts are not to be underestimated for their appetite can only be quenched by the flesh of Malal's foes in contrast to the more benign and herbivorous horses found in the Materium. The Nightmares are as stubborn and as vicious as any inhabitants of Malal's domain and it shows. Sporting wicked talons on their hoofs, sharp jagged teeth in its maw and a weaponized tail of either a mace or a scorpions stinger, these mounts are as easily able to crush and maim their own riders as its enemies.

Nightmares are incredibly temperamental and only the most powerful heralds of Malal would have the willpower and strength to subdue the beast. In battle, Nightmares are effective long-distance runners and a more powerful alternative than the Limbo-Ticks. While Nightmares are on a whole much slower than the Limbo-Ticks, they make up for it by being as tough as a Imperial Tank. Indeed it is common to see [[Lascannon]] fire simply being deflected through the ethereal skin of a Knightmare, dissipating the photonic bursts from the Lascannon into harmless light. It is for this reason that the most accomplished of Malal's followers are given the gift of this versatile mount.

Nightmares can be found free roaming the plateaus and plains of the Barbed Forests of Doubt where every tree and even grass are warped into cruel, spiked barbs that can cut deep into a person. Anyone who upsets Malal get sent here where they will be viciously ripped to pieces by the forest if the Nightmares themselves have not torn them apart first.
