"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests."

– H. P. Lovecraft

"Everything I was afraid of when I was growing up, I've become. I've taken on my nightmares, like the devil and the end of the world, and I've become those things."

– Marilyn Manson

Ashiok is a planeswalker who lacks gender and most of its skull. It rips nightmares out of people's heads and makes them manifest in reality, like a total dick. Ashiok's possibly an aetherborn, possibly from Amonkhet. On Theros, the spooky nonbinary smoke monster used a campaign of nightmares to trick two opposing kingdoms into a devastating war, earning it a spooked look from the god of deceit and causing a tiny bit of its cheek to fade into more smoke.

Ashiok returned to Theros in Theros: Beyond Death. Torturing Elspeth Tirel with visions of her nightmares and fears, Ashiok tormented the fallen champion as she attempted to escape the underworld. In doing so, though, Ashiok learned about the existence of Phyrexia, and the living nightmares that spawned from it. Since "living nightmare" is kind of its job description, Ashiok is now actively trying to find New Phyrexia to learn about and from them.
