Nightmare (ナイトメア Naitomea)? is an evil organization for the main villains from Yes! Pretty Cure 5. Their mission is to capture the Dream Collet for the chairwoman, Desperaia, so she can gain immortality to bring despair to the world.
The base for the villains appears to be located in the middle of a city district. It is a huge skyscraper with many unseen offices, Bunbee's board room, Desperaia's office on the top floor and a roof top. The whole layout is based on a Japanese corporation/evil corporation.
The subordinates that were sitting on the table wearing masks were the Palmier citizens and were brainwashed after they got captured and brainwashed, and disguised themselves as humans. Soon in episode 48, they have soon went back to normal selves and forms.
Chairwoman[]
Desperaia is the main villain from Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and is responsible for the destruction of the Palmier Kingdom. The chairwoman communicates with her employees via monitor most of the time. She wants to get the Dream Collet to gain eternal youth and eternal beauty. She receives her goal, but she loses the control of her own power, so she sacrifices herself to rescue the Cures and the Palmier citizens. After her fall, the organization is destroyed.
Employees[]
Each member of Nightmare has a normal human and anthropomorphic animal-like form. They are ordered to obtain the Dream Collet for Desperaia, having to confront Pretty Cure to do so. They summon Kowaina through the use of cards. If an employee fails their job several times, they receive a black card which turns into a black Kowaina mask that is forced on to make them stronger by transforming them into a giant monster, at the cost of their free will.
