Splashmaster's first appearance, and the first appearance of a Disaster Master.[1]
- "The Nightmare Knight created seven monsters and appointed them to rule over the conquered kingdoms of Dreamside. They became known as the Disaster Masters, and each one was more powerful than the last."
- — Princess Nautilus [2]
The Disaster Masters are seven monsters which rule the kingdoms of Dreamside in the event that the Nightmare Knight is summoned. Each one has a corresponding Disaster Stone that is given to the Legendary Hero when the Disaster Master is defeated.
Each kingdom of Dreamside has one Disaster Master assigned to it, with two exceptions: the Doughnut Kingdom, which has no Disaster Master; and the Melody Kingdom, which has two.

Unlike the other seven Disaster Masters, the Forsaken Master was sealed away by the Nightmare Knight himself and, while it is unknown if it has a Disaster Stone, is not required to revive the Nightmare Knight. Sealed within the Glass Mountain in the Crystal Kingdom, the Stone Seal keeps the Forsaken Master and its terrifying powers at bay.
However, the Forsaken Master is no threat whatsoever to Cucumber and Co.
