The Deadfall was the location of the Boogeyman's home. It was guarded by living bones, that would try to snatch people and drag them under the ground.[1]
Background[]
After capturing King Otar Fenris III, Malicia imprisoned him in the Boogeyman's wardrobe within the Deadfall. While traveling through Ooga Booga, Rosella learned of this from the Black Cat as well as the best time to enter the Deadfall from the Ghoul Kids rhyme.[2] After seeing that the Boogeyman was gone, Rosella had the Gravedigger use his machine to dig a hole into the Deadfall where she located Otar. However, Malicia appeared and imprisoned them together, repairing the living bones that had been destroyed by the Gravedigger's machine in the process. Rosella and Otar managed to escape their prison and the Deadfall by having Otar's Dragon Toad dig a passage out for them to a nearby graveyard. Their escape was soon noticed by Malicia, forcing the two to disguise themselves to prevent being recaptured.
When Valanice reached Ooga Booga, she encountered the Black Cat near the Deadfall which didn't react to the cat's presence even when she walked amongst the bones. The cat revealed to Valanice the danger Rosella was in in the Vulcanix Underground and suggested that she help Count Tsepish in order to reach Etheria and seek out help.[1]
