The {{nihongo|'''Dream Eaters'''|ドリームイーター|Dorīmu Ītā}} are a species of creature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. As their name suggests, they reside in the realm of sleep, where they consume dreams. Dream Eaters fall under two major categories, {{nihongo|'''Nightmares'''|ナイトメア|Naitomea}}, which eat good dreams and plant bad ones, and {{nihongo|'''Spirits'''|スピリット|Supiritto}}, which eat bad dreams. Nightmare Dream Eaters serve as the primary enemies in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', while Spirits serve as recruitable allies that [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] can collect, replacing party members and allies in the previous games.

==Story==
==Story==
Following the defeat of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], at Sora's hands, a portion of the worlds attacked by the [[Heartless]] remain submerged in sleep. [[Yen Sid]] explains that though this means the Heartless cannot reach them, they are instead plagued by Dream Eaters, entities produced by the darkness present in these specific worlds and that seek the worlds' Keyholes. There are two kinds of Dream Eaters, benevolent Spirits and malevolent Nightmares, constantly in conflict with each other.
Despite [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s defeat, some of the worlds remain asleep. [[Yen Sid]] explains they are beyond reach of the [[Heartless]], but they and their Keyholes are instead threatened by Nightmare Dream Eaters. These enemies attack Sora and Riku many times over the course of their Mark of Mastery exam.
 
As part of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] journey into the [[Sleeping Worlds]] to awaken them, recruiting Spirits to help them in their quest and battling and destroying Nightmares.
 
Shortly after Sora first meets [[Neku]], the two of them are surrounded by Dream Eaters. Neku summons his own Dream Eater, a [[Necho Cat]], and after the battle, he convinces Sora to partner with the Dream Eaters himself.
 
When Sora and Riku return to [[Traverse Town]], they find that their companions have abandoned using Dream Eaters, and have instead simply banded together with their partners. They also find out that a powerful Nightmare, the [[Spellican]], has been wreaking havoc on the city, and that the participants in the Reaper's Game are tasked with eliminating it. Sora and Riku manage to corner the Nightmare, but it summons several other powerful Nightmares as a diversion, allowing it to escape. Eventually, [[Mickey]]'s actions in [[Symphony of Sorcery]] accidentally summon the Spellican, who takes control of Mickey and forces him to continually conduct music, causing chaos. However, Sora, with Riku's help, manages to reach the Spellican and defeat it.


Riku eventually makes his way to [[The World That Never Was]], and finds himself face to face with Ansem, who reveals that Riku has been within Sora's own dreams from the beginning as a Dream Eater, in order to protect Sora from the machinations of the [[Real Organization XIII|new Organization XIII]]. However, the Organization had already managed to force Sora into a deep sleep.
In [[Traverse Town]], Sora decides to team up with Spirit Dream Eaters after he sees [[Neku]] summon a [[Necho Cat]]. Riku makes the same choice after [[Joshua]] helps him spawn a [[Komory Bat]].

After defeating Ansem and escaping to the real The World That Never Was, Riku finds himself at a dead end, unable to reach the [[Castle That Never Was]], where Sora is trapped. He soon notices Sora's Meow Wow at the entrance to the castle, however, and uses the power of his own Komory Bat to forge a link between the Spirits and ride a Dreamline to the castle.


Following [[Young Xehanort]]'s defeat at Riku's hands and Sora's rescue, they return to the [[Mysterious Tower]], and Riku dives into Sora's dreams in order to wake him up. In order to defeat the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]], Riku absorbs the power of all his Spirits and wins in one final clash.{{fact}}<!--check actual intention of Nightmare Clash-->
When Sora and Riku return to Traverse Town, they learn their friends in that world have forsaken their Dream Eaters for their human Game partners. The [[Keyblade]] wielders also encounter the [[Spellican]], which wreaks havoc before escaping to [[Symphony of Sorcery]]. There, this powerful Nightmare troubles [[Mickey Mouse]] until Sora and Riku come to his aid.  


After Sora revives, and Riku is named [[Keyblade Master]], Sora decides to visit the sleeping Traverse Town again, and he is reunited with all of his Spirit friends.
In a false version of [[The World That Never Was]], Riku comes face-to-face with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. The Heartless reveals Riku is a Spirit Dream Eater who spent his entire Mark of Mastery exam inside Sora's dreams. Riku battles Ansem, defeats him, and escapes to the real The World That Never Was. He then locates Sora's [[Meow Wow]] and uses the power of his Komory Bat to reach the Castle That Never Was.

Like the [[Unversed]], [[Heartless]], and [[Nobody|Nobodies]] before them, the Dream Eaters come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and color schemes. Most Dream Eaters are designed after animals, and each Dream Eater is adorned with an emblem which signifies whether it is a Spirit or Nightmare.


Dream Eaters are characterized by colorful appearances. Nightmares tend to have darker color schemes, while Spirits have lighter, pastel colorations. Nightmares also tend to have round, red eyes which lack pupils, while those of Spirits are either yellow, blue, green or purple. A Spirit's eyes change color as its Disposition changes.

After an encounter with the [[Real Organization XIII|real Organization XIII]] and Sora's successful rescue, Riku returns with King Mickey, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Lea]] to the [[Mysterious Tower]]. To wake Sora, Riku voluntarily plunges back into his friend's dreams and defeats the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]].


The symbol of the Spirit Dream Eater is present on the back of Riku's Sleeping Worlds outfit to symbolize his presence inside Sora's dreams, acting like a Dream Eater by vanquishing Nightmares, while the symbol of the Nightmare Dream Eater appears on the visor of Ventus's [[Keyblade Armor]] when it is possessed by a Nightmare with Sora inside it.
Reawakened, Sora watches as Yen Sid names Riku a Keyblade Master. He returns to the sleeping Traverse Town and reunites with his Spirit Dream Eaters.

Dream Eaters exist primarily within the realm of sleep, feeding on the dreams and nightmares of those who sleep. The Nightmare Dream Eaters largely outnumber the Spirits, who only appear in small numbers to assist Sora and Riku.
Dream Eaters exist in the Realm of Sleep, where they consume the dreams and nightmares of its denizens. Nightmare Dream Eaters outnumber Spirits, which Sora and Riku must create by collecting the necessary recipes and dream pieces.


Dream Eaters react to various forms of treatment, appearing to be happy when they are shown affection. It is possible to increase their affection with the [[Training Toy]]s. Dream Eaters are able to share power with one another and with other beings in a variety of ways, via abilities like the [[Link System]]. Sora can utilize his companions in a combination attack, while Riku is able to harness their power to perform stronger attacks.
Spirit Dream Eaters enjoy affection and love playing with [[Training Toy]]s. Their [[Disposition]] determines their eye color and how they behave during combat, while [[Paint Gun]]s can be used to alter their body color. Spirits lend their power to Sora and Riku via the [[Link System]], and they can compete against others of their kind in [[Flick Rush]] tournaments.  
{{-}}


Each Spirit Dream Eater will have one of four [[Disposition]]s, unique to their species, and these Dispositions can be altered by boosting Affinity with the Spirits, or feeding it specific treats. After a Dream Eater's Disposition changes, its eyes change color, it utilizes different attacks and spells in a battle, and a new path may be formed on its [[Ability Link]] board.

Like the [[Unversed]], Heartless, and [[Nobody|Nobodies]], Dream Eaters come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. They resemble real-world animals, and they bear emblems that designate them as either Spirits or Nightmares. While Spirit Dream Eaters are brightly colored, Nightmares are less vibrant. A Spirit Dream Eater's disposition determines its eye color, while Nightmares' eyes are round, red, and lack pupils.  


Spirits can be customized with items such as [[Paint Gun]]s, and can participate in mini-games such as [[Flick Rush]].
Characters that become Dream Eaters have emblems on their bodies in accordance with their roles. Riku, a Spirit Dream Eater, has the appropriate sigil on his back. Meanwhile, the Armored Ventus Nightmare has one emblazoned on its helmet.

Dream Eaters (ドリームイーター Dorīmu Ītā?) are creatures that debuted in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. They reside in the Realm of Sleep and consume dreams, as their name implies. There are two types of Dream Eaters: benevolent Spirits (スピリット Supiritto?), which feast upon bad dreams, and malevolent Nightmares (ナイトメア Naitomea?), which plant bad ones. During their Mark of Mastery exam, Sora and Riku recruit Spirit Dream Eater to help them combat the Nightmares plaguing the Sleeping Worlds.

Story

Despite Ansem, Seeker of Darkness's defeat, some of the worlds remain asleep. Yen Sid explains they are beyond reach of the Heartless, but they and their Keyholes are instead threatened by Nightmare Dream Eaters. These enemies attack Sora and Riku many times over the course of their Mark of Mastery exam.

In Traverse Town, Sora decides to team up with Spirit Dream Eaters after he sees Neku summon a Necho Cat. Riku makes the same choice after Joshua helps him spawn a Komory Bat.

When Sora and Riku return to Traverse Town, they learn their friends in that world have forsaken their Dream Eaters for their human Game partners. The Keyblade wielders also encounter the Spellican, which wreaks havoc before escaping to Symphony of Sorcery. There, this powerful Nightmare troubles Mickey Mouse until Sora and Riku come to his aid.

In a false version of The World That Never Was, Riku comes face-to-face with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. The Heartless reveals Riku is a Spirit Dream Eater who spent his entire Mark of Mastery exam inside Sora's dreams. Riku battles Ansem, defeats him, and escapes to the real The World That Never Was. He then locates Sora's Meow Wow and uses the power of his Komory Bat to reach the Castle That Never Was.

The Armored Ventus Nightmare.

After an encounter with the real Organization XIII and Sora's successful rescue, Riku returns with King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Lea to the Mysterious Tower. To wake Sora, Riku voluntarily plunges back into his friend's dreams and defeats the Armored Ventus Nightmare.

Reawakened, Sora watches as Yen Sid names Riku a Keyblade Master. He returns to the sleeping Traverse Town and reunites with his Spirit Dream Eaters.

Nature

A Nightmare Meow Wow.

Dream Eaters exist in the Realm of Sleep, where they consume the dreams and nightmares of its denizens. Nightmare Dream Eaters outnumber Spirits, which Sora and Riku must create by collecting the necessary recipes and dream pieces.

Spirit Dream Eaters enjoy affection and love playing with Training Toys. Their Disposition determines their eye color and how they behave during combat, while Paint Guns can be used to alter their body color. Spirits lend their power to Sora and Riku via the Link System, and they can compete against others of their kind in Flick Rush tournaments.

Design

A Spirit Meow Wow.

Like the Unversed, Heartless, and Nobodies, Dream Eaters come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. They resemble real-world animals, and they bear emblems that designate them as either Spirits or Nightmares. While Spirit Dream Eaters are brightly colored, Nightmares are less vibrant. A Spirit Dream Eater's disposition determines its eye color, while Nightmares' eyes are round, red, and lack pupils.

Characters that become Dream Eaters have emblems on their bodies in accordance with their roles. Riku, a Spirit Dream Eater, has the appropriate sigil on his back. Meanwhile, the Armored Ventus Nightmare has one emblazoned on its helmet.
