From the folklore of England and the United States of America, Rawhead and his companion Bloody-Bones, were often used as Nursery Bogies by parents to trick children into good behavior or for avoiding a certain activity or area, which ever was appropriate. Rawhead was said to dwell in bogs and ponds as well as in little used cabinets and under stairs. Exceedingly ugly and with a continuous flow of blood drooling from his mouth, Rawhead sits atop a pile of bones waiting for his next prey.
