  description: 15 feet. The nightmare continually exhales black smoke that creates
    concealment in an aura around it. Nightmares and their riders can see through
    this smoke. A creature that begins its turn in the area becomes sickened 2 (DC

    1 minute. The nightmare, its rider, any creature currently holding its breath
    (or that does not need to breathe), and any creature immune to poison are immune
    to the aura's sickened effect but not the concealment.
