About

Among the most terrifying sights is this monster galloping down a forest trail.

Joined at the Hip. The mount of the horseman will obey it and fight to the death to protect the rider. The rider cannot be knocked off and does not dismount. However the nightmare cannot use Ethereal Stride until the rider is slain.
