Bugaboo

The more powerful and sophisticated bugaboo conceals themself within larger darkened spaces to stalk their prey. They might be spotted peering around the corner of a dim hallway only to quickly move out of sight, turn invisible, and attack their victim from an altogether different angle.

Bogeyman

Source Feybound pg. 94
Bogeymen are stealers of innocence and devourers of souls. Few targets who survive an encounter with them remain untouched by repeated nightmares, feelings of paranoia, and newly realized phobias. Different names are given to bogeymen according to their varying sizes and degrees of power, which typically grow stronger and stronger as the monsters consume more and more souls.

Many bogeymen look like the mortal folk that they prey on, allowing them to often hide in plain sight.
