Nightmares are side antags, I get that. But all their junk is rehashed from other antags.

When you get down to it, this antag does not have a single original bone in its body. It doesn't even have any objectives or thematic relevancy to its name! Thus. Here's what I think should happen
Light Eater Upgrade: Light Eaters have something in them that can wipe out any source of light, no matter what it is. When it devours light, IE an item. it should save up a charge, ala Blood Rites absorbing blood. With these charges, it should be able to do things that make it more thematic to its name.
50 Darkness Absorbed: Stalking Phantom Blast. They can toss a black orb of energy. If it hits someone, they gain the Stalking Phantom Brain Trauma. Better get to medical!
100 Darkness Absorbed: Shadowshroom Growth. in a 3x3 spread, shadowshrooms are now planted on the floortiles. Darkness, Darkness everywhere.
200 Darkness Absorbed: Race Drain. Now nightmares get a glowy hand too! Using this on a person turns them into a shadow-person. OH NO.
500 Darkness Absorbed: Power Surge. Triggers the grid check event.
Now it's still a generic antag. BUT it's a generic antag that can do cooler things then just armblade you to death!
Objective: Absorb 1200 Darkness from this station.

Re: Nightmare Powercreep
Bad but probably an improvement for the sole reason of actually giving nightmare an objective

Re: Nightmare Powercreep
remake shadowlings into grues. they are blob overmind cursors that can only see dark tiles and cant see/hover light tiles. you can bite people who you hover over for big damage. no objective, no way to be killed, just bite motherfuckers in the dark

Re: Nightmare Powercreep
I almost coded this for planetstation in 2017, but the code is dead along with my old account (and i'd want to rewrite it anyways)
