Bugbear

A bugbear is a legendary creature or type of hobgoblin comparable to the bogeyman (or bugaboo or babau), and other creatures of folklore, all of which were historically used in some cultures to frighten disobedient children.
==Etymology==
Its name is derived from the Middle English word "bugge" (a frightening thing), or perhaps the old Welsh word ''bwg'' (evil spirit or goblin), or old Scots ''bogill'' (goblin), and has cognates in German ''bögge'' or ''böggel-mann'' (goblin), and most probably also English "bogeyman" and American English "bugaboo".
In medieval England, the Bugbear was depicted as a creepy bear that lurked in the woods to scare children. It was described in this manner in an English translation of a 1565 Italian play ''The Buggbear''.〔
In a modern context, the term ''bugbear'' may also mean pet peeve.〔(merriam-webster.com )〕
