Were we all looking in the wrong place when all this time it was right under our noses? This is an unaltered screenshot from one of the NiGHTS Museum presents on Christmas NiGHTS.

Note that this is a picture of NiGHTS surrounded by all of the boss characters. But check out the one in the upper left corner. It says "NIGHTS" but it is clearly not NiGHTS. Here's a closer look.

The horns have blue stripes and seem to be a darker shade of purple than NiGHTS. Skin tone is way darker, and the eyes...those evil glowing yellow eyes.

This may have been some very early art that they tossed into Christmas NiGHTS and just altered the name on the placard assuming no one would notice. At least that is what I'm assuming. They did a pretty good job too seeing how this has eluded everyone for so long.

I'm pretty sure that's just NiGHTS... at very least I wouldn't say it "is clearly not NiGHTS." It does look a little different, but I think that's to convey that the character's dark past.

I'm under the impression that Selph was never fully designed. But I'm probably not the most knowledgeable person... does anyone know otherwise?

I actually thought that when I originally saw the picture. Then I realized that it was all the boss characters and thought, "NiGHTS isn't a boss." Of course it could just be all the 1st and 2nd level Nightmarens, but with NiGHTS already in the picture he seems redundant.

My understanding is no one knows if anything was designed for Selph. We know something was "deleted", but we don't know what. I'd find it hard to believe they would not have had any designs at all for a character that was going to be a main boss and that they apparently had enough stuff programed in to have to delete it.

Either way though, if it is a picture of NiGHTS before he rebelled, then it's the only picture I've ever seen of that either. So it's a pretty important picture (imo) regardless.

Even though NiGHTS rebelled he is still considered a nightmaren, so I think this is just a plaque of Wizeman's nightmaren. NiGHTS and Reala are directly under Wizeman on his left and right, and it seems right because they are equals that turn on each other.

It would be awesome if they planned a level where Wizeman regained control of NiGHTs and you had to fight him as the flying versions of the kids from Twin Seeds, then they broke him out of the trance. It would be a good stage to have just before Twin Seeds or as a mini-boss before taking on Wizeman himself.
