According to Zohar, Adam's first wife, Lilith, became the first generation of Nightmare Banshees after various changes. Nightmares, whether in novels or games, are fiery women who attract men through some means and absorb their most precious essence.
I don't know what game everyone first came into contact with the monster of "Nightmare" in that year?
The deepest impression of the editor is from "Castlevania", nightmares and demons have appeared, often change to become the protagonist cares about the person, the first time to play "Night Thoughts Under the Moon" almost deceived by the magic.
These monsters appear in all versions of the series, serving as very important monsters, often bursting out good things or useful souls.
On the other hand, in the Diablo series, Nightmare is also a regular.
The image of the Nightmare Banshee in Diablo 1, with its rough muscles, conforms to the Western aesthetic.
It doesn't appear until the last few layers of Diablo 1.
To be honest, when facing Diablo, although there is fear, the pressure is still not very big. But when faced with this group of demon women, they completely lost confidence, and they always unleashed ranged magic attacks in groups.
What's even more desperate is that they will always follow you and run fast. As long as you don't kill them, you'll be hunted down all the way. If you don't have good equipment, no good magic books, and if you don't have enough potions, don't give away heads.
Nightmare Banshee, adept at using curses to weaken prey from afar. Once the player is weakened, they enter the killing zone and slash their prey with their long claws. If the banshees gather together, they can emit endless magic balls
Nightmare Banshee, in the early days, did not have so many names, all of them were uniformly named. Possessing beautiful and seductive carcasses, they often use this advantage to lure humans into the abyss of evil and never recover.
The Nightmare Banshee in the Dark cannot kill people through dreams, but can only do it herself. Although they have bat wings and a smooth and prickly shell, their combat effectiveness is very limited, so they prefer to use their bodies as bait to lure mortals. If they succeed, they will take human lives and dedicate their souls to hell.
Banshees generally separate human souls through poison or daggers.
Banshee of the Official Dark Page:
In the introduction we can see that banshees have an endless desire for blood, especially for men. Elite banshees, dressed in bright red, dance in forests or alleys, which is one of the ways they trap human souls.
One sentence summed up the banshee's means, "Pleasure temptations outside the flesh, like sweet honey, drown out all caution." ”
Before killing the killer, many nightmare banshees will also remind victims that they must see the essence of their own banshees: demon wings, sharp teeth, forked tongues... And these are very dangerous things for human beings. If it is too late for humans to escape at this time, it means that they have not been tempted, and even if they are caught, it will not be of much use.
For these banshees, when human lust is at its peak, the deprivation of soul and blood is the most palatable. Hooked people rarely escape, and banshees are very good at exploiting human weaknesses.
Trinkets made from banshees' wings, teeth, or other parts of their bodies in Diablo can make it easier to seduce monsters.

In Diablo 1, the Nightmare Banshee appears beneath Tristram Cathedral, and under the onslaught of the three protagonists, it was once thought that the Nightmare Army had been wiped out, and it was.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Barr resurrected them at the top of Mount Jarrett and summoned their forces to fulfill his ambition to rule the world. These demons were originally servants of Andalil, and after their resurrection, they moved around the area around The Hill of Arret in Act V.
At this time, the banshee's team is relatively large, and many unique banshees have their own names:
Banshees, evil harlots, styxes, hellish, bloody
Evil Witch, Wrath of Styx, Blood Witch, Hell Witch
During Diablo 2, the game's graphics improved a lot, and perhaps Blizzard realized this, so he dressed the banshees. The Banshees of the 2nd generation are not as terrifying as the original, but they are still difficult to deal with if they are swarmed. They can curse the player with "Blood Magic".
There are two Banshees in Diablo 2 whose Dark Monsters are not used:
To tell the truth, when I saw this group of demon women, I felt disgusted, I didn't get them to the point of seducing humans, and even the illustrations of the 2nd generation were deliberately ugly them. It's puzzling!
During Diablo 3, the Nightmare Banshee was resurrected under the influence of Azmodan and possessed more powerful powers, appearing as the maid of the Queen of Pain (Cydaea) on Horde arret and high-level heaven.
When it appeared in the 3rd generation, the shape returned to the original generation again, and it looked much more attractive.
There is a small mission in the Tower of Curses, where several guards are controlled by nightmares and are ready to be sacrificed to Cydaea, the Queen of Pain. After killing the banshees, these guards and heroes will help Nefer to clean up the monsters.
Cydaea, Queen of Pain:
In Diablo 3, there are also several named banshees, all of which appear as quest bosses.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > players' most impressive charm may be: Lysa</h1>
In the world of the Diablo series, there are very few beautiful women, and Lysa is one of them. But no one would have thought that she was actually a charmer.
We must first mention Elena here, because this Lysa is one of Elena's sisters, both of whom were once apprentices of Master Vizger.
Elena, a loyal companion of the players in Diablo 3.
Elena grew up in mage warfare. At a young age, Elena and her sisters were both students of Master Vizger. Elena often secretly read the teacher's mantra book and taught her sisters. Although the spells they learned were little tricks, they began to indulge in the feeling. Once, Elena mistakenly cast a spell that made Lysa woo her for weeks. In this pleasant atmosphere, they mastered a lot of spells.
One day, however, Elena and her sisters discover that the teacher is summoning a demon, and is preparing to join forces with other mages to summon a demon-level demon.
Elena and her sisters knew the horrors of this magic, so they used magic to sneak up on and kill the mages before they could complete their rituals.
These unwilling mages cursed the girls with their last breath before they died, and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, when Elena woke up, she found a prophet standing beside her. It turned out that the prophet had healed her and her sisters with his light power. He also praised their deeds and offered to further cultivate them.
The prophet was an angel:
So the girls formed the Secret Magic Sisterhood of the Prophet's Hand. Soon after, the Prophet foresaw a catastrophe fifteen hundred years from now, and the most powerful Diablo ever built would be born.
So Elena and her sisters vowed to use their lives to stop the tragedy. The Prophet praised their courage, and through the occult, the Prophet put the entire Sorority into a long sleep, and after fifteen hundred years, assisted Nephilim in organizing the plague.
But fifteen hundred years later, Elena woke up to find all her sisters dead. I don't know why.
One day, she is suddenly called by her sisters, and at the end of the chapter, she finds her former sister: Lysa.
Why did the sisters die? Lesha finally told the truth.
It turned out that after Elena fell into a deep sleep, the Prophet told the Members of the Sorority that Elena was the Chosen One, and only she could save the world, but unfortunately she could not live to 1500 years later. The Members of the Sorority must have a sense of sacrifice to ensure that Elena survives that day.
The Prophet left the girls to choose for themselves, and almost all agreed to sacrifice themselves, except for Lysa, who did not agree and was angry that she was not the Chosen One.
Lysa makes a deal with the demon and attempts to kill all the sisters in her sleep, only to be discovered by the sisters in time.
They decisively chose to sacrifice themselves and protect Elena, who was still asleep. Exactly as the Prophet had prophesied. 1500 years later, Lysa uses the souls of the Sorority members she killed to lure the newly awakened Elena in an attempt to trap her in the "Fortress of demons"
After the plan failed, Lysa transformed into a demon and attempted to kill Elena and Nephilim, but was ultimately unsuccessful and was killed instead.
Nightmare reappears in Diablo 4.
However, this form, it is estimated that it is difficult to tempt humans!
Playing a new game now, I always feel that I am going through a process, unwilling to study the details again, and I am bored after completing the level. Even sometimes playing those high-rated games, it feels average, and I don't know how to rate it high. Maybe it's the mindset of playing games that has changed!
In my spare time, I occasionally reminisce about the old games of the past. Only then did I find that I had paid a lot in the game and got a lot of happiness at the same time. Now playing new games, I am no longer willing to put more energy into it.
