Bussemand is an enemy in Final Fantasy XV fought in Crestholm Channels and Costlemark Tower, and during the Baby Snatchers hunt. They are goblin-like daemons that have some backstory with the now-abandoned Saxham Outpost.
The official guide conflates the two versions of bussemand, but the hunt version does have superior stats compared to the regular enemy version.

Battle[]
They may steal Ingredients from the party. Bussemands appear in groups and can gang up on a single target. They are weak to greatswords, machinery, fire and light and resist lightning. They jump to strike down with their fists and deal swift uppercuts and quick pummels. Their attacks can be phased through and parried.
Strategy[]
Throwing fire-elemental elemancy at them while they are grouped together can engulf them in a fire storm and deal continuous damage from the burning. Prompto's Gravisphere Tech can be used to gather them in one place. Holding the defense button and waiting for parry opportunities works well.

Etymology[]
The word bogey could also be linked to many similar words in other European languages: such as bussemand (Danish), however the most common use of the word bussemand (Danish) relates to bugger. A bogey, or bogeyman, is a type of poltergeist in European folklore that haunts households. They are said to be formless and can change shape and move objects, but are more mischievous than harmful.
