Red Deep Nightmare

The Red Deep Nightmare is one of Dark Gaia's minions that only appears on the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed and are the strongest of the Nightmare variant. They only appear during the game's nighttime stages.

Overview
When Dark Gaia fell apart in the begining of Sonic Unleashed, its fragments spread across the planet, resulting in the creation of Dark Gaia's minions, wtih some amongst them becoming Red Deep Nightmares.

The Red Deep Nightmares are more powerful versions of Deep Nightmare and are stronger, faster and has more health than any of their Nightmare relatives, making them the strongest of Dark Gaia's footsoldiers. In line with the Deep Nightmare, the Red Nightmares possesses no long distance attacks and fights the enemies with hand-to hand combat where they can use their stretchy as clubs, and can guard against assults as well.

All the Red Nightmares were later reabsorbed by Dark Gaia, and returned to the planet's core when the beast was defeated.

They have thick arms, and large spikes on their backs, much larger than the Nightmares', with purple smoke emitting from it. They also have a single horn on their head, but they are larger and more jagged than a Nightmare's horn. Unlike the normal Deep Nightmare however, they have a pinkish-red color and their markings glows in a cyan color.
