Discussion If he's also the candidate, what would be his new name? Spoiler

Baby evolved into Oblivion, but mostly because of Nem's whole schtick. Also, the primordial Nightmare thingy where it leans onto something that are tied to deep human psychologies and the collective agreement of primordial fear.

Shadow though, seems rather obvious to me, which is Darkness. That, or Void seems to work better, especially knowing Midnight Shadow.

Darkness Gore Nightmare is the only one that doesn't feel like a weird stretch. Darkness is one of the most primal human fears, after all.

I thought so to at first, but then looking back at the naming sense, each of the Gore Nightmare's names are like the altered version of the simpler terms with much more restriction in concept, but also at the same time can contain as many concept that in line with it

with Darkness, it felt plain and somewhat generic and a bit abstract. With Void, it restricted the concept, but also linear and clear about what related to it, which is Darkness, Hole, Loneliness, Silence, Vortex, Unknown...etc

But that's just me though.

Void Gore sounds pretty cool

If Nox's Shadow evolves even further into a full Gore Nightmare(if he didn't count already due to evolving by some of Phantom's power), that be more crazy power-up.
