The Mare, a.k.a. Mara, is a shape-shifting nocturnal creature and the origin of the word "nightmare". As such, it attacks people in their sleep and provokes bad dreams.
Like their name suggests, they're female (their male counterpart is the Alp) and have been often represented in art and popular culture as equines, even though, as stated, they can assume any form they please.
