I've been wondering about this. Whenever I'm referring to two or more, I usually say Nightmaren, instead of Nightmarens. What do you say, and is anyone sure what it REALLY is?

The plural of Nightmare is Nightmares and if a Nightmaren is that of a Nightmare then the plural is mostlikely Nightmarens...
But I could be wrong...

I use Nightmaren because that's what the manual uses.

Nightmarens

more commonly, the slang term, 'marens.

Doesn't really matter, imo. The last thing we need is a flame war between 'maren and 'marens.

I sometimes use Maren, sometimes Marens, and same with the Night added on.

Thinking about it, I suppose Ekairi is right, but both sound right to me. Has anyone from Sega taked about all the maren(s) as a whole in an interview or anything, I wonder?

The manual refers to them as a collective "Nightmaren", e.g. "[...] and through his creations the Nightmaren [...]"

I don't think it's wrong to use either of them though, it's a matter of personal taste. (Even if "marens" sounds a bit weird to my ears.)

I agree. Sometimes "Nightmaren" sounds better in a sentance, other times "NightmarenS" gets the win. Depends on the situation and/or mood to me. They both mean the same thing after all.

I'm going to agree with the thought of it depends on personal taste but say mine is "marens" because "maren" sounds a bit weird to me. XD
I still hold by my previous statement on this thread though.
