Nightmare Adrien

The Nightmare Adrien is a one-shot character in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir and a minor antagonist in the episode Sandboy. He was a creepy, zombie-like clone of Adrien Agreste and Marinette's nightmare, who, like Nightmare Ladybug, was brought to life by Sandboy; one of Hawk Moth's akumatized villains.

Just like his original counterpart, he was voiced by Benjamin Bollen in the French version, and by Bryce Papenbrook in the English version.

Appearance
The Nightmare Adrien has the same appearance as Cat Noir's civilian counterpart Adrien Agreste. However, unlike his original counterpart, this version of Adrien appears to be more creepier and zombie-like, especially his eyes.

Personality
TBA

Role
In "Sandboy", Marinette is sleeping in her room but is soon awoken by the nightmare counterpart of Adrien, who keeps ranting about how much he loves Chloé. The nightmare Adrien then climbs up on Marinette's bed, but Marinette throws a blanket at him and runs up to the balcony. She sees Sandboy, the titular character of the episode who can make people's worst nightmares come true. The nightmare Adrien then opens up the balcony window and continues to rant about how much he loves Chloé, but Marinette closes the window on him and attempts to transform into Ladybug, but cannot because Tikki is not around. The nightmare Adrien opens up the window again, but this time, he climbs up the balcony, stalks Marinette by crawling on the floor, and attempts to capture her, but Marinette flees from him and sneaks out to Master Fu's place while her father is attacked by a dough that has come to life.

The nightmare Adrien breaks in to Master Fu's place and continues to stalk Marinette and rant about how much he loves Chloe, while However, Tikki, Plagg, and Wayzz quickly rush out of the Miracle Box and to their owners. They find Marinette, Master Fu, and the nightmare Adrien. Aware that the latter is not the real one, Plagg takes off to the Agreste mansion while Tikki and Wayzz go to their owners. Wayzz apologizes to Master Fu about not telling him what they were doing and Tikki helps Marinette transform into Ladybug.

It is unknown what had happened to the nightmare Adrien afterwards, but it's presumed that Ladybug defeated him off-screen, and joined Cat Noir to stop Sandboy, and later Nightmare Ladybug. The nightmare Adrien was last seen in the street calling out Marinette's name before being defeated by the Miraculous Ladybug and disappearing from the real world for good.
