A tragedy unbespoken, sound of steel crashing steel followed by the shrieking hymn of burning rubber on pavement. Five people . Scattered and broken like glass, a mother clutching her cub, stabbed through by a branch from a lone tree, the cub sound asleep breathless it's head craned backwards hanging by a strecth of skin from . The father, bent on the board,his head resting in a crimson pool of his own blanket by shards scattered and struck. In the other vehicle, a man in the back sits exasperated, eyes dilated, head bleeding and skin torn from flying glass. He peers to the front seat and saw his driver was gone. Outside a blackened sillhoutte walks to the backseat, opens the door on his passenger's side. Now basked in moonlight the passenger see's in blurred lenses the face of his driver. Eyes darting everywhere the passenger catches glimpses of the drivers wounds, his face, the lacerations all closed harmoniously as shards big and small fall from the closing wounds glittering in the moonlight like diamonds then darkness.

Momma Ettu can verbally summon a 'Bogeyman' by verbally implying one is present and a danger, through story or statement like 'There's a bogeyman in these woods' or 'Ive heard bogeyman... " Etc.
Immediately after, a bogeyman imp-like creature will appear from somewhere out of sight (behind a tree, or around a corner or something when possible, but directly behind them if no other options are available within 15 feet or so). They follow Ettu's lore given during the summons, although she can always change the story. They will always attempt to approach stealthed, and hunt as a predator would- lunging when the target is distracted, when they're spotted, or when they manage to get close enough to catch the target unaware- where they will promptly lunge at the targets throat or chest area.
