Beware the day creatures, my friend.

Maybe you're not my friend, but I still think it's only fair to warn you of their existence. You can't see most day creatures by looking straight at them, but occasionally you may see one from out of the corner of your eye. Since you can't see the little critters, they're near impossible to catch, so all you can do is take precautions to keep their little pranks from catching you off guard. There are at least three types of day creatures, and they have often been known to work together.

The Wash Bogans are wee little goblins, and they like to take things they find around the house and stuff them in the pockets of clothes that are about to be placed in the wash. Bogans will use just about anything as pocket stuffing, but above all they love things that disintegrate and come apart in the wash. Because of this obsession for things that come apart, the Bogans are often seen associating with the Nose Trolls, who supply them with pocket stuffing.

Nose Trolls revel in causing mischief in all things pertaining to noses, and are more malicious than the Bogans. The Nose Trolls will wait until someone in the household is looking for tissues, and then the Trolls will take the tissues and give them to the Bogans, so that the Bogans may in turn put the tissues in the pockets of some poor victim’s pants. If you've never experienced tissues going through the wash, I would love to describe to you why it is both annoying and disgusting in great detail, but alas, I must get back to the Trolls. Once the Trolls catch on to the fact that their victims empty the pockets of all the dirty laundry before popping anything in the washer, the Trolls will not only cease to be amused, but will in fact become greatly annoyed. If a household unfortunate enough to be infested with Nose Trolls also has mammalian pets, or a family member with allergies, the Trolls will exact their revenge. Trolls will creep along the carpet and up the furniture, right under the nose of some unsuspecting victim, and then they will fling dust and foul scents straight up the poor soul's nose, causing the victim to sneeze uncontrollably.

There is very little information on the third category of day creatures, who are known simply as the Whats. It's not clear what exactly the Whats are, but they are suspected to be one of the rare spirits that exist as both a day creature and a night thing. The Whats can be seen at any time, but cannot be remembered. If someone walks into a room and sees a What, that person will immediately forget why he or she came into the room and will proceed to do something else until they can remember why they walked in to the room, giving the What enough time to get away. If for some odd reason a What takes a liking to someone, it may follow that person instead of running away. In such an instance, the person becomes mildly drowsy and has trouble remembering anything that happens around him, but no one around him is affected because the What is hiding in the shadow of whomever the What has decided to follow. No one can recall seeing a What, and often attributes the symptoms of being followed by a What to tiredness, and so the Whats have remained hidden although they freely exist out in the open. I'm sure people would keep Whats as pets, if it weren't so hard to remember what a What was, where the Whats were, and who owned which What.

(One could suppose it would be equally confusing to the Whats to figure out which What owned which witch if Whats were wanting witches, but why a What would want a witch, which it wouldn’t, is any one's guess.)
