The Nightmare Forces are similar to the Marvel Comics' Symbiotes, they're living clouds of smoke composed Nightmare Energy, they bond to host bodies to thrive, they take control of their hosts & turn them into monsters, the Leader of these Nightmarish Symbiotes took possession of Luna after convincing her to give in to her jealousy & fears of being unloved & unappeciated, thus turning her into Nightmare Moon, after her defeat the Symbiote returned to the Moon to replenish it's strength, once it was strong enough it chose Rarity to be it's new host so that the Elements of Harmony couldn't defeat it a second time, but 1st Rarity had to give in to her insecurity & fears of being abandoned & forgotten, in order to become ripe enough for the Nightmare Forces Leader to possess her, thus turning Rarity into Nightmare Rarity, in other words Nightmare Moon & Nightmare Rarity are similar to Marvel Comics' Venom & Carnage.
