Boeman

The Bogeyman is an extremely common cultural phenomenon the world over, often used by parents against their misbehaving children to frighten them into compliance. Many grow up with the belief in demons or devils lurking beneath their bed, or in the darkness of their closet, waiting for them to fall asleep and snatch them up in the night. It is here that the boeman are born, in the darkest places, filled with the most fright and fear. Boeman are thought to be a form of spirit that draws on the Psychic energy of fear, until it is able to adopt a corporeal form. That form is most often the thing the person whose fears formed it is most afraid of. The boeman is capable of feeding off of fear, siphoning it unto itself and growing its own strength, while adding to its repertoire of disguises. No known variety of Psychic defenses are known to work against the boeman, so inherent is its knowledge of reading fear. The creature will feed off the fear of its subject as long as it can, drawing in the energy generated by the screams and the horror until the fear becomes so overwhelming that its victims die outright. Overcoming one's fears is not enough to defeat the boeman, as there is always something else a person fears, so deeply that they may not even know it. Coming to terms with your fear, however, grants you power against the boeman, for it does not understand the careful distinction. Its physical form can be destroyed, leaving behind the pure negative energy that forms its existence. This can either be contained or dispelled with a similarly powerful spell of positive energy.
