I think it’d be neat
taken straight for wowpedia, seen mostly in legion
A Druid of the Nightmare is a variant class
of druid, Not all druids revere the Emerald Dream. A few rare and twisted individuals channel the Nightmare, a rent in the perfection of the Emerald Dream. Most of these druids of the Nightmare were once normal druids who inadvertently came in contact with the Nightmare (often while dreamwalking) and fell under its insidious influence.
However, an increasing number of people have become druids of the Nightmare through their own volition. Whereas traditional druids seek a communion with nature, druids of the Nightmare become increasingly divorced from the natural order. Druids of the Nightmare transform into vermin or monstrous spiders instead of the animals other druids choose.
Most of their abilities involve corrupting or destroying nature or warping the minds and bodies of others. At some point, the druid of the Nightmare is fully removed from nature; instead of aging as others, they develop random and unusual features such as scales or tentacles as they advance in years.

Not sure about a new class (why would they work with the alliance or horde?) but I think that’s a good opportunity for spell-modifying glyphs if we have another old god story in the future.
I’ve seen some pretty cool Nightmare Druid transmogs people have put together too.
Why would a Druid of Nightmare join and assist the Horde or Alliance?
The Nightmare is pure druidic corruption, on par with the Legion itself. Go back to Legion and see what damage the Nightmare did to Val’sharah alone. Or the utter mind crushing Ysera got from it.
Not sure how it would work lore-wise but the Nightmare certainly looks cool.
Did you just open up the possability of Void Elf druids??? drool

tentacle form.
what more needs to be said
Eh, I just want a pack form/instance for rage based Feral DPS instead of combo points and energy.
I mean, our character did manage to control the rage of the Scythe of Elune and the fury of the Claws of Ursoc, I think we are well in line to be the first druids to have full control over the pack form.
We killed the nightmare already.
And it left a void seed planted in the heart of the dream behind
It could be cool for cosmetic affects on Druids. Honestly, I wish Blizzard would have fun with cosmetic effects for every class the same way they did green fire for Warlocks. With this expansion being the push for customization, what better customization is there than actually adjusting is spells and abilities look?

Class skin / glyphs would work better for this than subclass.
There are nightmare-themed artifact appearances / forms already as well.
