Etymology: From do (“toilet”) + draug (a corporeal undead from Norse mythology). The word is a neologism and not part of traditional myths, having its origin from an audio comedy sketch of the 1970s. The ploy of the sketch was a simile of a radio children's tale being twisted into a horror story with the assumed result of making little children terrified of sitting down on the toilet.
