Spring-Heeled Jack (d20)
Spring-Heeled Jack
Naughty children are told stories of a hopping devil that will spirit them away for misdeeds¸ pranks¸ and shenanigans. If they aren't good little boys and girls this springing devil will find them¸ scare them near to death¸ and if they are especially wicked take them away.
Spring-Heeled Jack¸ so named for their vaunted jumping ability¸ first came to the attention of the public in the mid-1830s. Soon stories of their troublemaking ways would spread throughout the British Isles and beyond turning up in urban settings throughout the world.
