The Little Nightmare is a pet that can be obtained by defeating The Nightmare. It is a much smaller version of her. The drop rate of the Little Nightmare depends on the amount of players in the fight; 1/800 for one, 1/1,600 for two, 1/2,400 for three, 1/3,200 for four, and 1/4,000 for groups of more than five.

When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a red message in the chatbox will state You have a funny feeling like you're being followed.

However, if a player receives a pet while having a follower out (for example, a cat), it will be placed into their inventory. When this occurs, the message in the chatbox will instead state You feel something weird sneaking into your backpack. If a players inventory is full and they have a follower already, they will not receive the pet.

On death, if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in your inventory) it will wander around for 30 seconds before disappearing completely.

Players can pay a one-time fee of 500,000 coins to Probita in East Ardougne to have this pet insured. Should the pet be lost while insured, it can be reclaimed for 1,000,000 coins.
