An unidentified clown was a magical construct manifesting one of Xander's recurring nightmares. It was based on a real clown from his sixth birthday.[1]
History
Xander's fear was created during his sixth birthday. In the party, a clown chased him and he became so frightened that he had what could be assumed an embarrassing accident.[1]
In 1997, during Billy Palmer's nightmarish manifestations of all Sunnydale residents, Xander found a trail of chocolate bars in Sunnydale High School. The clown then appeared from behind a curtain, chasing Xander with a knife while laughing. Xander teamed up with Willow and Giles and decided to confront the clown, finally punched him and calling him "lousy".[1]
When Billy finally woke up, the clown disappeared along with all other magical constructs under the boy's effect.[1]
