An evil and wicked creature born from dark magic fueling up Princess Luna's jealously and bitterness. Her desire to create a never-ending night forced Princess Celestia to use The Elements of Harmony to imprison her in the moon, seemingly for eternity. However after one thousand years the stars helped her to escape and this time she attacked first, defeating Celestia off-camera and leaving Equestria stuck on night time. After a short rampage, she was defeated and "purified" of her darkness by Twilight Sparkle and her friends. According to the episode "Luna Eclipsed" Luna {{spoiler|can still transform into Nightmare Moon (though not malevolent) at will.}}

That or she couldn't make a convincing ''male'' voice for them.
