A digital drawing of Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Nightmare Moon is an alicorn with dark blue-purple fur, a horn that fades to purple, and wings that are slightly bat-like but still feathered. She is rearing; standing on her hind legs with her front legs in the air. She wears her periwinkle helmet, chest guard, and shoes. Her hair is dark blue surrounded by purple with many stars inside. The background is a dark purple gradient, also covered in stars.
