The first Nightmare Helm was made by a Tragaran wizard named Phûru Hlotho-Tam. She got the idea from failed designs and recipes found in the ruins of Drachlaz.
Nightmare Helms are coal black with two ornately carved horse legs that are shaped to be kicking back from the sides of the helm. Made from the tail of stench cows, the helm has a 2' long blood red plume.
Across the worlds where evil is strong, nightmares prey on stench cows more than any other. The tail on the Nightmare Helm is the magical lure that entices the nightmare to answer the helm's summoning.
- Phûru Hlotho-Tam, from the Nightmare Helm item creation recipe - "The Lure"
When wearing the helm, the footfalls of the wearer produce small clouds of low-lying noxious smoke; effective for keeping small pests away.
