In the text the Rougarou is seen as an incentive for kids to stay in line and listen well. It could also be compared to how people say that you will get coal in your stocking if you are a bad person throughout the year.

"'Down by the river to draw water, I feel eyes on the back of my neck,  smell the blood on his tongue even with sweet grass tight under my arm.
