Details
Unlike all other bosses in the game, Azure Nightmare is not a Belsar battleship. It is a Thiima artificial intelligence who exists within the Hyperspace Communications Network. It appears at later missions in CS mode, attacking the Belsar forces and eventually communicating with the heroes through radio. During the final mission, it warps the Silver-Hawk Legend straight after Gigantic Bite.
Azure Nightmare also has a second form called Crimson Nightmare, which uses similar patterns but made harder. Crimson Nightmare is also the only boss in the game to have a unique background during it's fight.
Appearance
Azure Nightmare has the form of a mechanical blue dragon. Its body is long and serpentine with sharp blade-like wings and limbs. The color scheme features dark metallic tones with glowing blue highlights. Its head resembles a dragon or sea creatur, with a single dark red eye and horn-like extensions. Overall, it looks like a fusion of a dragon and a high-tech war machine.

Trivia
- Despite on Azure Nightmare's torso it seems that there is nothing, but there is something inside when the player shoots at him and begins to blink white, apparently it is his core in the form of a sphere.
- The word "Azure" means: blue.
- Its bullet attack patterns and other motifs are similar that to The Embryon (that is actually one of Thiima's creation) from G-Darius.
