Bogey

A bogey typically hunts a single creature at a time, usually a small child or elderly person, methodically stalking and tormenting their prey. Often hiding under a bed, amid a dark attic space, or in a closet left slightly ajar, a bogey delights in the slow, methodical cultivation of fear in their victims until the time comes to reap their soul.

The bogey regains Hit Points equal to double the level of the consumed creature. After devouring three souls within a year, the bogey transforms into a bugaboo.Surprise Attack On the first round of combat, creatures that haven’t acted yet are off-guard to the bogey.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Bogey Origins

While bogeymen stem from bugaboos and bugaboos from bogeys, it's unknown where, exactly, bogeys come from. If superstitious storytellers are to be believed, then bogeys arise from the unfortunate victims kidnapped by bogeymen. According to these tales, victims go missing for months or even years before returning as bogeys to the town they once called home.

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.
