Moon on the rise!
— Runaway Mecha, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
And while the moon still shines blue
By dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue
By dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue
— Kuja, Final Fantasy IX
Stars travel the sky by catching the winds of time... but this moon isn't affected by time: it never moves, day or night. That's why it's called the Moon That Never Sets. After counting one hundred and eight years, when the Moon That Never Sets glows red, a Moon Child descends upon the earth to fill the world with holy bliss; a poem of yore, telling the fate given by the Moon. However, what we really get is the spawning of destruction and fear that is the Black Monster.
— Fester, The Legend of Dragoon
The dark moon Morrslieb is full only one night a year, when its orbit brings it closest to the world. This night is known by many names: Geheimnisnacht in the Empire and Winter's Eve in Bretonnia, it is Twilight's Tide to the Elves and Ar'Uzkul to the Dwarfs. On this night, sensible folk lock their doors and bar their windows, but for the followers of the Dark Gods, this is a night of celebration. Morrslieb is accursed, a moon formed from material cast into the skies when Chaos first burst upon the world. Its proximity strengthens the Winds of Magic, weakening the borders between reality and the Realm of Chaos. On Geheimisnacht, small rifts become large and large rifts become immense, allowing thousands of Daemons to walk the mortal world for one night of mayhem and destruction.

"Link... Link... Be on your guard. Ganon's power grows... it rises to its peak under the hour of a Blood Moon. By its glow, the aimless spirits of monsters that were slain in the name of the light return to flesh. Link... please be careful."
— Princess Zelda, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
"Witness the blood moon's rise. When its red glow shines upon the land... the aimless spirits of slain monsters return to flesh. Just as they did in a war long past. The world is threatened once again."
—Princess Zelda/Phantom Ganon, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
"A blood moon on Halloween night is a powerful thing! After tonight, our family may never be the same! [...] I've never seen one myself, but I've heard grizzly tales from times past. Entire farms have been undone by its wicked curse — families torn apart!"
— Alice Green, Big City Greens, "Blood Moon"
"Florid moon shines upon a world that is doomed to die..."
Wailed the diva given into lament.
All out pale, fleeting dreams are where the truths are hidden
Until they fade away.
"Crimson moon shines upon a town that is smeared in blood..."
Cried the diva given into lament.
All those sweet little dreams buried deep in memories until the very end.
Wailed the diva given into lament.
