{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|A Transient that works at Shinjuku Academy as both a janitor and elementary school student. According to tales passed down in Tir na Nog, he is a being born from the terror held in the hearts of children. He believes that when children do something dangerous, experiencing a terrifying ordeal will prevent them from doing it again. In practical terms, he's known as an extremely strict teacher at the school, and he's feared for the portable gardening tools he carries around. It isn't his intention to do so, but when he scares his students the light of life goes out of his eyes out of depression. This further scares students, and so a horrible feedback loop is created. If the hemp linen Sacred Artifact around his waist wraps around someone into an Enclosed Area, it can transport them to another area whether or not said target physically exists. He often socializes with another troubled teacher from another school who also gets avoided by his student(s?) to vent to each other over drinks and sometimes brag about said students. Boogeyman is in charge of the class a certain young photography club member is in, and he seems to have some sympathy for him as someone who is also a horror-type being. He highly values the production of horror shows, and he is part of the guild of actors and performers. Due to a difference in perspectives about the play happening in Tokyo, he is very incompatible with one of his guildmates.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|In his home world of Tir na Nog, Boogeyman was always regarded as a figure of fear by those around him. As such, the experience of being liked by others always felt like a fate far removed and unrelated to him. That in turn means that he regards affection in all its forms as sacred, and by nature he cannot intentionally disregard anyone who would hurt those they love as friends, family, or something more. Boogeyman exists in other kinds of faith in great numbers, but his power is a gathering of all these fragments into one existence. This means he is an extremely unstable existence, and when the fear towards his legends dies down he might disappear from the world with it. He is arguably the one most starved for affection than anyone, yet he will never receive love from crowds of people. When children's minds are taken out by Boogeyman, their bodies have a substitute fairy skilled at mimicry placed in them to act as the original person. Due to that, hardly anyone around these cases of mental changelings notice anything had happened. According to dream eaters, the nightmares he gives to children suck bad. Those certified to teach and guide children, aside from a few exceptions, generally respect him. There are however some teachers who think his teaching style is too strict.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient who's perfectly suited for a hot summer horror stage. Boogeyman works as both an elementary school teacher at Shinjuku Academy and a stagehand for a certain theatre troupe. Since coming to Tokyo, Boogeyman's learned of many horrors beyond his specialty in occult horror. There's kaiju attack horror, gothic horror that started with vampires, maddening cosmic horror, and the modern horror of urban legends. He's learned that sometimes people indulge in horror for fun, and creating a new bond with children besides causing trauma has shown him a new path in life. In his attempt to explore this possibility, Boogeyman has stepped on to a certain theater's stage this summer. In the midst of his short vacation, he had the experience of creating a work of art together with his friends. He will be there on stage together with his partner as the screaming cheers and the applause like storming thunder rains down. And here Boogeyman comes looming over, saying it won't be enough to just leave these as just a summer's memories. Lately Boogeyman's been seen with his newly welcomed student going "woooo where are yoooou" and looking around.}}

|move=You can run, but you won't get away.
|attack=Found you~
|skill=Is it here?
|hit-minor=Guh!
|hit-major=You're such a bad kid!
|charge=A child hiding in solitude, here comes the Boogeyman! A Gentle Dream All Day, Fear the Darkness!
|victory=I caught you. Haha, why are you so scared? Cute, cute, cute...
|ko=Don't forget. I'll always be watching you from the darkness.
|love=You have discovered the monster's memory, in which he got loved by no one. Don't you forget it. I will never, in this life, let you get away! Errraaaahahahah...My love sure is chillingly horrifying, ain't it?
|open=Mwahaha. Welcome back. Have you been good? If you follow my lead, good things will come your way. Why not come claim your sweet, sweet reward now?
|close=
|greeting=Hello. Are you being polite and courteous in your everyday life? If not, just know that I will chase you down, and there's nowhere you can hide from me. Not in your closet, nor even in your dreams...
|encouraging=Oh, you are naughty. So very naughty! You mustn't hide away like that, you know. For you see, no matter where you may choose to go off and cry... I will surely find you.
|touched=What a naughty child you are! Didn't anyone ever teach you to stay away from people who play with weapons or hazardous materials? Hmm? What about people who don't? Just use good judgment, of course!
|conversation-1=There are some tacit promises we make in this world simply by being part of society. We respect the advice of those who came before us, and we refrain from taking on the greatest of challenges alone and unprepared. We know, after all, that if we break these promises, what awaits us is nothing short of horror.
|conversation-2=
|self=I've always thought of myself as a calm, cool, collected teacher—tough but fair. Why, then, do I always seem to make the children cry? Does my appearance really strike such fear into their hearts?
|character-1=Ahh, I'm so sorry. I wanted you to reflect on your actions, but I didn't mean to make you cry. What if I were to just—Boo! Haha! There! Did that scare you without being too rough? What?! It was still to scary?! Hmmm... I'll have to work on this some more!
|character-2=I do tend to garden quite often, and the advice I've been given by a certain someone is always helpful and easy to understand, but I'm not so sure a harvest of vegetables is the best fit for an elementary school's flowerbed...
|event=We all give gifts and offer our love in the hope of leaving a positive impression on others. But sometimes, we take it a bit too far, and that love can become a form of terror. It's funny, isn't it? Just how thin the line between the two can be.
