Bogeymen: Munstrum Vestarum “Closet Monster”
Bogeymen are sentient creatures who are often considered undead though they technically are not, since they haven't actually died.
Bogeymen are manifestations of human fears, both childish and primal. Bogeymen take whatever shape to scare people, especially kids. Their true physical form is usually obscured by the frightening illusions they project. The only bogeyman revealed so far in the books resembled a small, wizened monkey.
Some bogeymen are more comfortable under a bed, behind a door, or in a cellar. One of the few ways to subdue a bogeyman is to put a blanket on his head. The theory goes that everyone knows Bogeymen disappear if you put the blankets over your head, and so by putting a blanket over a Bogeyman's head his belief in his own existence is impaired. Apparently, light blue blankets are most effective but no-one seems to know why.
