Night Terror (ナイト・テラー Naito TerÄ) is a fictional character designed for the Soul Series of fighting games. Night Terror made his first and, to date, only appearance in Soul Calibur III as the most difficult enemy in Tales of Souls mode. It can be argued that storywise he is the most powerful creature to have ever existed so far.
