Lore
Whatever bizarre creature a boogeyman might have been when it was alive is a mystery. In undeath, it stalks the Plane of Fear, bringing dread to interlopers there.
Boogeymen literally feed on fear. In the past, they sated this hunger by traveling to Norrath and striking fear into the various inhabitants there. More recently, as the boundaries between the planes began to weaken, adventurers have started gating to the Plane of Fear, allowing boogeymen to feed without leaving home. The taste of fear borne of overconfidence is especially fine to boogeymen.
These 12-foot tall horrors have tight, dark skin and luminescent green eyes. Their heads are flattened and their faces elongated. Although they can talk, boogeymen rarely do. Their only sound in combat is a raspy breathing and an occasional chuckle when one of their special abilities affects an opponent. They are quite capable of advanced tactics, but use them only when they think their opponents warrant the thought. The rest of the time, they simply appear from the cloaking shadows and begin fighting.
