Dream Eater
I haven't quite got the fine points down, like...when, or where... It just kinda kicks in whenever it wants to.

The 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, Nightmares (ナイトメア Naitomea ), which eat good dreams and plant bad ones, and Spirits (スピリット Supiritto ), which only 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.
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. 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 who seek the worlds' keyholes.
Design
Like the Unversed, Heartless and Nobodies before them, the Dream Eaters come in a variety of sizes and shapes, although they appear to have a much higher range of colour schemes than their predecessors. Each Dream Eater is adorned with a symbol, which represents if they are Spirits or Nightmares.
Dream Eaters are characterized by having colorful appearances. Nightmares tend to have darker color schemes, while Spirits have lighter, pastel colorations. Nightmares all seem to have round, red eyes, regardless of the shape and color of those of their Spirit counterparts.
The symbol of the Nightmare Dream Eater is also present on the back of Riku's third outfit, although this has yet to be explained.
