* MagnificentBastard: [[NobleDemon The Tooth Fairy]] is in truth the original Bogeyman born from ancient man's primordial fear of the dark. Taking pride in terrorizing mankind, the Bogeyman became enraptured by the innocence of children and sought to protect them from the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters real monsters in life]]. He establishes a new identity as the Tooth Fairy and builds a vast franchise funded by property development to collect teeth to prevent them from being magically used against children. When psychopathic assassin [[PsychopathicManchild Johnathan Teatime]] and his hired goons invade to use teeth to stop belief in the Hogfather, he uses the last of his power to conjure their worst nightmares to aid Death's granddaughter Susan and hunts the men down and brutally murders them even as they try to escape. Content with Susan's iron will and morals, the first Bogeyman fades away trusting her to ensure his mission is carried on.

*CompleteMonster: [[PsychopathicManchild Jonathan Teatime]], a [[PsychoForHire deeply disturbed psychopath]] in tune with his "inner child", is hired by the Auditors of Reality to assassinate the Hogfather. With a massive reputation of sadism and brutality already left in his wake, Teatime happily murders a coach driver out of sheer boredom, before breaking into the Tooth Fairy's castle and murdering the many guards to gain access to the teeth of all the children of the world. Teatime uses these teeth for a spell to kill the Hogfather by [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve making children stop believing in him]], while casually threatening his gang of hired mooks into continuing to help him. Upon killing his gang's lockpicker by throwing him down the castle's stairs when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he outlives his usefulness]], Teatime cheerily attempts to murder Susan for her interference, later trying to repeat the process with her and her grandfather in front of her young charges.

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychopathicManchild Jonathan Teatime]] is a [[PsychoForHire sadistic assassin]] feared even amongst hardened criminals. Implied to have [[SelfMadeOrphan killed his own parents]], Teatime has a penchant for excessive slaughter. In one instance, Teatime nailed his target's pet dog to the ceiling for barking too much and killed his servants because he didn't want them to barge in on him. After the Auditors hire Teatime to kill [[SantaClaus the Hogfather]], Teatime abducts a tooth fairy to use her magic to make all the children in Discworld stop believing in the Hogfather in order to kill him, causing a void in Ankh-Morpork's magic that wreaks havoc in the process. Teatime, unlike other members of the Assassins' Guild, shows no regard for the lives of civilians or his own men, in one instance killing a stagecoach driver out of boredom while chatting with him and in another instance having a locksmith working for him dropped down a long spiral staircase to a painful death [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness when he's no longer useful]]. When Death and Susan foil his assassination attempt, Teatime tails them to the nursery Susan works at in an attempt to kill Death.
