These creatures are servants of an evil god, the Ragged King. Where the god who controls Heckhounds is afraid of offending parents, the Ragged King is afraid of doing anything that will not offend parents.
I have not been able to determine exactly what these creatures do to travellers on dark nights. However it clearly has a great effect on them. I have known many a priest who, having met the creatures, insisted on patrolling the same roads again and again, determined to save others (they did, however, assure me that they had protection).
