If he tries to transfer it to you it will not work. It may attack. If it
does, you are toast. If in town, you, it, and He are toast. You have no way
to control this creature with no taming or AL. Nightmares are some of the
toughest. My tamer Kai Du, with Taming in the 70's and 100 Animal Lore, had
fair control of her dragon. I'm concerned as to whether she will be able to
control a Nightmare, which she is considering buying.
> 2) umm a fella is trying to sell it to me by 40k... its a good price?
If you could control it, yes. But you can't. And Taming is one of the really
hard skills to raise, requiring an enormous number of hours spent doing
something you cannot macro, which requires a lot of attention and much
frstrating failure, plus getting your ass kicked by everything that comes
along with a notion to kick it. We're talking a MAJOR Boredom thing, here.
Mining, tailoring, and hand-stitching a large tent are less boring.

There's some talk of a way to temporarily dupe a Nightmare, sell it,
and keep the original. Be very carefull who you buy one from.
