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 medium dog-sized, indistinguishable ball of teeth (think Stephen King's Langoliers) 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.
