Celestial Nightmare

These once corrupted pegasi are nightmares that have been redeemed. Their once hellish appearance is exchanged with a projection of a starry night sky which fully covers their body, and the fiery hooves are now solid black. When the nightmare uses its hooves for attacking they light up with a flash of radiant white light that burns their enemies. Through a sacred ritual of cleansing, their bonds to Mount Celestia have been reestablished. Through strong will and the wish to do good, these nightmares have been given a new chance. If a celestial nightmare dies, it reforms on Mount Celestia within 24 hours.

Ceremony of Restoration. In order for nightmares to have their souls redeemed, they must seek out help from strong divine servants such as clerics of good gods, or other strong magic users who are faithful to a good god. Some angels seek out nightmares in order to restore them, and to prove their worthiness to their god. In order to perform the ceremony of restoration, the helping magic users must have at least one of the pegasus' original feathers. The ritual cannot restore the lost wings, but redeems the soul and binds it to Mount Celestia.
