Homebrew Boogeyman Species Details
Boogeymen are covered from head to shin in hair that can be any human hair color. They have two rows of sharp teeth, small eyes, and talon like claws acting as both hands and feet.
Boogeyman culture is usually nomadic and lonely, with the little bit of social interaction they have coming from annual congregations of Boogeymen.

Dream Eater
If you are 50 feet from a sleeping creature, you can perform one of two actions. You can consume their and instantly gain a full rest, or cast the spell Detect thoughts. In both cases, the creature instantly wakes up after the action has been made, and they are now hostile towards you for one hour regardless if they were friendly to you in the past.
Since you are unable to consume food, you will need to make this action or "Shared Sleep" once a week. If you go a week without doing this, you will gain 3 levels of exhaustion. If another day passes without this action or "Shared Sleep" being performed, then you will become unconscious and make death saves.
You can only perform this action 1 every 12 hours regardless of short or long rests.
