Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, is a boss in FromSoftware's Bloodborne, released for PlayStation 4 in 2015. He appears in the Nightmare of Mensis as a mad scholar who flees through mirrored halls while taunting the hunter, and his theatrical voice lines became a favourite among players long after release. Short clips of his dialogue spread through gameplay videos, edits and meme pages, where his grandiose, unhinged tone made him easy to recognise even outside the game. He remains popular because that mix of menace and comedy fits reaction videos and boss-fight compilations perfectly.
