Bogeymen are malicious fey that feed upon the fear of their victims, typically children. In spite of their often terrifying powers, they are known to be both cowardly and highly spiteful; they typically prey on the weak and helpless, but will flee in a panic if they meet any kind of effective resistance - only to come creeping back later to get the worst revenge they can manage.[1]

Descriptive Text

"If you don't leave on the lights tonight, you're in for a big surprise,

If you should put out the lights tonight, you'll fear to believe your eyes,

For every scare that ever there was

Will leap and creep and seek you, because

Tonight's the night the boogeymen play their worst tricks"


-- Taunting children's rhyme [2]
