If it's in a word, or if it's in a book

You can't get rid of the Babadook

Alignment: Neutral Chaos

Ability: The Babadook haunts anyone who learns his identity. This happens one of three ways:

1. If any role with investigative capability visits the Babadook and receives his results, then they are haunted.

2. The Babadook can send his poem book to someone. If that person stays home with the book in their possesion for any reason, IE being role-blocked or transported with your target, then they will read the book. Reading the book will cause the Babadook to haunt you. If you visit someone and you haven't read the book, you will pass the book to them. You will not know if you have received the book, but you will know when you have read it.

3. Once you have discovered the existence of the Babadook, you are permanently blackmailed unless you choose someone at day to whisper the knowledge of the Babadook too. Doing this will mean that they have learnt of the Babadook. You will still be haunted, but you will no longer be perma blackmailed.

Mechanics: Each night, the Babadook can give the book to someone new, which will remove the book from wherever it is currently. Alternately, he can frighten any of his haunted victims. If someone reads the book, it is returned to the Babadook and he may use it again. The Babadook's goal is to frighten at least four of his victims twice. The Babadook can frighten a victim once, which role-blocks them, and if he frightens them a second time they kill themself. If the Babadook dies, he can still frighten people and work towards attaining his goal, but it is not possible for anyone new to be haunted.
