--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a while since I've drawn Nightmare Clowns.... as in the clown creatures that are a manifestation of people's fear of clowns that live in the dreamlands...
This isn't a new monster for the most part, but here's the old lore for them, along with a new bit at the end.
Nightmare Clowns are horrible creatures that come from the realm of nightmares, a portion of the DreamLands where the realm of madness and Hell overlap like a ven diagram, pincering the Dreamlands in between like a cruel Vice. Here beings of madness, alien entities of indescribable horror and cruel devils wander the twisted black wastes feeding on the life force of those who dream unwaking in those realms. If ever dreaming and you find yourself in a strange land, try your best to never awake as the creature is still holding on to you, as it may pull it through to your world.
Nightmare clowns are evil entities that take the form of clowns. They usually take the form of a somewhat off looking clown with exaggerated proportions or tiny eyes and huge mouths, though they can also shape shift into relatively normal looking creatures as well. These clowns will play nicely with you and perform silly acts to make you laugh, as laughter and screaming are noises the clown can use to mimic your voice, and also because it enjoys tormenting creatures before it kills them, and usually leaves them laughing as it drains away their sanity and eats their flesh.
Nightmare clowns can possess multiple arms and legs, and possess the ability to regrow limbs, control them at a distance if removed, stretch their body, and even split off multiple other clowns from their body in a process called "Budding" similar to a tree. Basically they have all of the same powers as a Shoggoth. They can also shine a mesmerizing light from their eyes that can hypnotize their prey similar to a Vampire.
Nightmare clowns also have the horrifying ability to teleport while not being observed. So if you see one and lose sight of it, chances are it will be somewhere else, but often times hot on your trail. They enjoy teleporting to confined or dark spaces such as closets or under beds.
Nightmare clowns seem to possess a childlike intelligence and animalistic tendencies, though some can learn and easily mimic humans and show a cunning intellect that makes their wicked nature even more terrifying.
It's unknown why Nightmare Clowns target mostly children. It may be because of a heightened sense of fear and trust from children, but it's also theorized that they can transform children into clowns like themselves.
Those that possess the cunning intellect are sometimes known as Ringmasters (The guy with the fat pink head). Ringmasters will often gather other Nightmare clowns and other nightmarish creatures and organize them into groups to hunt down large groups of creatures, and often times they have ways to leave the dreamlands despite being a living nightmare, making them just as horrifying in the real world as they are in the dreamlands. On occasion one will go on a murderous spree across earth, leaving behind mysterious dead bodies in horrific cartoonish ways such as being inflated until they pop or being crushed by an anvil, or shocked to death by a joy buzzer....
