There are two types of Dream Eaters: benevolent Spirits, which feast upon bad dreams, and malevolent Nightmares, which plant bad ones. During their Mark of Mastery exam, Sora and Riku recruit Spirit Dream Eaters as party members to help combat the Nightmares plaguing the Sleeping Worlds.
Nightmares typically only attack once negative emotions are felt, such as when Quasimodo could ride a Zolephant without issue until being scared. Along with their weaker compatriots, powerful Nightmares like Hockomonkey, Commantis and Wargoyle show a willingness to obey those with an affinity for darkness, like the real Organization XIII, CLU, and Frollo. Some like Anti Black Coat and Armored Ventus Nightmare were purpose created to keep a victim trapped in sleep, attacking anyone who tried to wake up their prisoner.
