Nightmare Geese

Nightmare Geese (ナイトメア・ギース) is a character used to "replace" Geese Howard in games where he is canonically considered dead, supposedly as a literal nightmare and/or a ghost. To confirm his "nightmare" title, this version is usually more powerful than the normal Geese, and is marked by an aura of chi energy around his feet. Since Geese is still alive in the KOF's mainstream timeline, this nightmare form is mostly known available outside KOF's mainstream timeline games.

He reappears in The King of Fighters XIV as a DLC costume for Geese, where he is given a zombie-like appearance, damaged clothing and a distorted voice.

He is voiced by Kong Kuwata and Tom Bitler.

Personality
As a phantom, Geese's voice in this form is calm yet sinister, and is possibly aware of his own heightened powers. Other than this, his personality remains the same; a proud, chivalrous yet villainous fighter.

Powers

 * Gather Chi: Geese can gather chi energy from Gaia, the mother-earth.
 * Sense: Geese can sense the presence of people nearby.
 * Energy Projectile: Geese can fire a wave of energy called Reppuken and even fire two of them at the same time (Double Reppuken). The air version is called Shippuken (for one shot) and Double Shippuken (for two shots).
 * Energy Attack: Geese can infuse his normal attacks (punches, kicks, etc.) with chi energy to cause more damage.
 * Cutting Energy: Geese can create blades of energy as seen in his Flying Solar Slash move.
 * Energy Geyser: By touching the ground with his hands, Geese can make a geyser of energy come from below the ground. He called this attack Raising Storm or Raging Storm.
 * Summon Thunder: With great difficulty, Geese can also summon lightning from the sky. He uses this in his Atemi Nage and Thunder Break moves.

Fighting Style
Geese's fighting style remains unchanged.
