I added that the [[Lunar Wing]] is said in D/P to be the only thing that can wake people up from Darkrai's nightmares. Something vaguely similar to this is stated in the Lunar Wing article, so it's up to your judgment whether to leave it or not.

What does that mean? It says " It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times". Anything can go around objects several times. Can we please elaborate this?

==possible inspiration== | |||
I haven’t seen this talked about before, but I think that darkrai May be inspired by the nocnitsa of Slavic folklore. Here are some similarities I noticed: | |||
-both can cause nightmares | |||
-both can be warded off by having a certain object nearby while you are asleep (noctitsa can be warded off with a stone ring, while darkrai is warded off with the lunar wing. ) | |||
-they have some visual similarities | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as having grey hair, while darkrai has a white plume of ghostly fog that resembles hair emanating from its head | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as levitating and having no legs, while darkrai is mostly seen floating with its legs retracted | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly portrayed as wearing a tattered dress, whilst darkrais body slightly resembles a dress, with the spiky part at the bottom of its torso resembling a ripped cloak or gown. | |||
