i wish you could play as bogeymen

Ignoring the somewhat buggyness of that... it in fact makes MORE sense that they are imaginary... As it means you killed them yourself.

The fact that they ONLY show up if your alone and that no one else has ever died of a boogeyman unless you yourself set it up... likely means you are just insane.

Sense in Dwarf fortress?
We have creatures of the night that steals people and converts them into one of their own and Bloodmen and Demons.
You don't hear anything about bogeymen in the legends due the coding only making them unable to appear any where but in adventurer mode at night(I guess the bogeyman can get named if they murder a famous creature if you bait one.).
Though they do exist. "the sense" from digging at the raws that they are sentient beings that are born from the night made from some god of the night in means of trolling adventurers or anyone for walking/sleeping out at night alone.
Also how do you explain the peasants warnings about going out alone. It's just feels like a Cop out. Mostly it's the most used explanation for every thing superstitious.
though I can see how one could use that to excuse them in a total conversion. 

videonfan, you could try seeing if "NIGHT_CREATURE_125" would work as an adventurer entity. or if that doesn't work use Dfusion and body swap as one(though I haven't done that much bogeyman testing since they came in, too busy messing with forts and cloning explosively suicidal powerful swordsmen.)

uhh yeah there an issue with playing one given that you can only live if it's night out and you don't go outside the person you swap to isn't dead bogeymen can use doors, I guess they just normally don't due to they need to see their pray. a hamlet house has no windows for them to look into.
pretty much means your chance of living as long is limited, unless you turn into a zombie which somehow prevents the poofing, through you will smoke like a vampire in the sun and be attack instantly by peasants and be killed.

ZOMBIE BOGEYMEN man I should have thought of that sooner.
