Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, is a boss in FromSoftware's Bloodborne, released in 2015, encountered in the Nightmare of Mensis. Unlike most bosses, he flees through a maze of halls while laughing and casting magic, forcing players to chase him down before he can be cornered. That cowardly, taunting behaviour made his cackle stand out among the game's darker, more solemn voices. Clips of his laughter circulated among Bloodborne players and meme editors, who reuse it to mock evasive opponents, failed chases and villains who talk more than they fight.
