The power to use the abilities of a Sack Man. Variation of Bogeyman Physiology.
==Also Called==
*Sack Man Mimicry
==Capabilities==
A user with this trait can take on the abilities of a Sack Man or is one. A Sack Man is envisioned as a type of child-hunting monster in Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American folklore, that manifests as an impossibly ugly and skinny old man carrying a large sack who wanders the land searching for "naughty" children - whom he is said to capture and stuff in his bag before spiriting them away to a grisly fate (many tales say that the "Sack Man" eats his young victims).
While a legend told to scare children into good behavior, the origins of the Sack Man are based very loosely on historical figures dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, where men carrying large bags or wicker baskets would be put in charge of collecting orphan babies to take them to the orphanages.
Most of the children usually died before reaching the orphanage due to the lack of care and the abusive conditions in which they were transported. The lingering memory of these figures likely serves to inspire the bogeyman as envisioned in modern lore.
