Bobo, Bebok, Bobek itp., lecz kim a raczej czym był albo może nadal jest???

Bobo to zgodnie z wierzeniami słowiańskimi to mała, brzydką i złośliwą istotą , która straszyła dzieci w celu zdyscyplinowaniu ich. Bobo, będące istotą nocną, zamieszkiwało ciemne piwnice, rzadko odwiedzane strychy i inne miejsca, w których mogło spokojnie przeczekać dzień. Zaraz po zapadnięciu zmroku wychodziło z ukrycia, by znęcać się nad struchlałą z przerażenia dziatwą (dziećmi).

Rzeźba beboka w katowiach

Bobo jest nazywany również jako bobok, bebok, bobak, bobek i bobik. Jedynym sposobem na uspokojenie tajemniczego beboka była, jak w przypadku większości demonów domowych, porządna porcja strawy pozostawiona mu przez gospodarzy.

i think david has the best scary stories. because he grew up in poland and has heard of like a hundred different slavic spirits and monsters and now he carries the legacy on because whenever he wants to persuade les by scaring him a little he says "eat the whole dinner or bebok will steal you" or "you can't go to the forest alone leszy will eat you" or "don't swim in the hudson river utopce will drown you and turn you into one of them." and also sometimes when he's at the lodging house for the night the littles just ask him for a scary story and he always provides (<- great narrator/storyteller david bonus)

Bebok

Nadprzyrodzona istota z folkloru. W polskich wierzeniach ludowych bobo był małą, brzydką i złośliwą istotą, którą straszono dzieci w celu ich zdyscyplinowania.

Sack Man

The Sack Man (also called the Bag Man or Man with the Bag/Sack) is a figure similar to the bogeyman, portrayed as a man with a sack on his back who carries naughty children away.

Variants of this figure appear all over the world, particularly in Latin countries, such as Spain, Portugal, Italy (where he is known as the vecchio col sacco ("the old man with the sack"), and the countries of Latin America, where it is referred to as el "Hombre del costal", el hombre del saco, or in Portuguese, o homem do saco (all of which mean "the sack/bag man"), and Eastern Europe. Similar legends are found in Haiti and some countries in Asia.

In Spain, el hombre del saco is usually depicted as a mean and impossibly ugly and skinny old man who eats the misbehaving children he collects. The crime of Gádor gave rise to this term because the kidnapers used a gunny sack to carry with the children. In Brazil, o homem do saco is portrayed as a tall and imposing adult male, usually in the form of a vagrant, who carries a sack on his back, and collects mean disobedient children for nefarious purposes. In Chile, Argentina and particularly in the Southern and Austral Zones, is mostly known as "El Viejo del Saco" ("The old man with the bag") who walks around the neighbourhood every day around supper time. This character is not considered or perceived as a mythical or fantastic creature by children. Instead, he is recognised as an insane murderer that somehow has been accepted by society which allows him to take a child that has been given to him willingly by disappointed parents or any child that is not home by sundown or supper time. In Honduras and Mexico, misbehaving children fear "El Roba Chicos", or child-snatcher, which is very similar to "Hombre del Saco".

In Armenia and Georgia, children are threatened by the "Bag Man" who carries a bag and kidnaps those who do not behave. In Hungary, the local bogeyman, the mumus, is known as zsákos ember, literally "the person with a sack". In Poland children are frightened by the bebok, babok, or bobok or who is also portrayed as a man with a sack. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, a similar creature is known: bubák. It's a creature without a typical form, connected with darkness or scary places, making children fear but not taking them away usually. The character of čert, the devil, is used for that instead ("Don't be naughty or čert will take you away!"). In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, buka ("бука"), Babay ("бабай") or Babayka ("бабайка") is used to keep children in bed or stop them from misbehaving. 'Babay' means "old man" in Tatar. Children are told that "Babay" is an old man with a bag or a monster, usually hiding under the bed, and that he will take them away if they misbehave (though he is sometimes depicted as having no set appearance).

In North India, children are sometimes threatened with the Bori Baba or "Father Sack" who carries a sack in which he places children he captures. A similar being, "Abu i Kees" (ابو كيس), literally "The Man with a Bag", appears in Lebanon.] In Turkey, Kharqyt (Turkish: Harkıt means "Sack Man"- also called Öcü, Böcü or Torbalı) is portrayed as a man with a sack on his back who carries naughty children away to eat or sell them.

In Korea, mangtae yeonggam (망태 영감) an old man (yeonggam) who carries a mesh sack (mangtae) to put his kidnapped children in, thus, "Old Man with a Sack". In some regions, mangtae yeonggam is replaced by mangtae halmeom (망태 할멈), an old woman with a mesh sack. In Vietnam, misbehaving children are told that ông ba bị (in the North; literally mister-three-bags) or ông kẹ (in the South) will come in the night and take them away.

In Sri Lanka, among the Sinhalese people, elders frighten misbehaving children with Goni Billa, (translates roughly as "sack kidnapper") a scary man carrying a sack who arrives day or night to capture and keep children.

In the Western Cape folklore of South Africa, Antjie Somers is a Bogeyman who catches naughty children in a bag slung over his shoulder. Although the name is that of a female, Antjie Somers is traditionally a male figure.

Several countries contrast their version of the sack man with the benign sack carrier Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Flanders, Zwarte Piet (Dutch for "Black Pete") is a servant of Sinterklaas, who delivers bags of presents on December 5 and takes naughty kids back to Spain in the now empty bags.

In some stories, the Zwarte Piets themselves were kidnapped as kids, and the kidnapped kids make up the next generation of Zwarte Piets. In Switzerland, the corresponding figure is known as Schmutzli (derived from Butzli) in German, or Père Fouettard in French.

A similar figure, Krampus, appears in the folklore of Alpine countries, sometimes depicted with a sack or washtub to carry children away. In Bulgaria, children are sometimes told that a dark scary monster-like person called Torbalan (Bulgarian: Торбалан, which comes from "торба", meaning a sack, so his name means "Man with a sack") will come and kidnap them with his large sack if they misbehave. He can be seen as the antipode of the Christmas figure Santa Claus (Bulgarian: Дядо Коледа; corresponding to Father Christmas).

In Haiti, the Tonton Macoute (Haitian Creole: Uncle Gunnysack) is a giant, and a counterpart of Father Christmas, renowned for abducting bad children by putting them in his knapsack. During the dictatorship of Papa Doc Duvalier, certain Haitian secret policemen were given the name Tontons Macoutes because they were said also to make people disappear.

Update on the Sunni animatic; only eleven panels left to line art! Out of those, i have, like 24 fully coloured with three shaded and five with only line art. Don't think I'll be going as hard on the final eleven, tho. Just line art is enough since i also have to animate a bit

It's a pretty exhausting proces tbh, but now I've dropped the colours I've been seeing the fun in it lmao. It's coming out pretty well! And im doing it with a new friend

His name is Bebok and he's from Ikea

Also featuring my tired face

@rosiethedragongeek for the tags! Just a lil update on the Sunni animatic!

hello yes hi i hope you dont mind, i couldnt stop myself. Saw @stiffyck amazing vodník scar today and i had to draw him and give him a companion. bebok grian is something ive been thinking about lately and ill never get a better opportunity to share than now. I hope u like it ? 

(owl-like portrayals of beboks are not the most popular nowdays, but theyve been present for a long while! Its a silesian house demon that causes mischief and eats disobedient children (in some interpretations also drinks the blood of newborns); partents used it (and use to this day!) to scare their kids as a form of discipline, and it worked - while nowdays many silesians view bebok as a little creature with black fur, horns and big eyes (or like buka from moomins... lol), its assumed that back in the day they were associated with owls, due to the fact that owl corpses were often used as a scarecrow for other birds near cherry fruit trees and its name - bebok, bobo, babok (bebok, bobok, meaning, funnily enough, boogeyman in silesian) could come from owls (specifically bubo bubo - eurasian eagle owl). The thing about bebok is that it very much does not have a set apperance, and many people view it differently, depending on their own fears and ideas in their local community! So i went more owl-ish than usual, gave him a sack (beboks most common attribute) and a cieszyn folk costume in very rough shape)
