Looking for info on Hungarian word "Balászcocó" (unsure about spelling)

There's this word my family uses that was introduced by my Hungarian grandfather, so I'm fairly certain it's Hungarian. I don't know how it's spelled but if I go by pronounciation it should be along the lines of "Balászcocó". It is the name of a kind of poltergeist or scapegoat, so if some small but annoying thing like for example soup stains on the wall are discovered at home and nobody admits to be responsible for it, we just say "The Balászcocó did it!"

I can't find anything about it on the internet and unfortunately I can't ask my grandfather about it anymore. So I'm curious if anyone is familiar with it or if it's just a creation of my Nagypapa. And in any case, can this name be translated literally in some way? Köszi!

Berry bush colour distribution across sample biomes

Sometimes I enjoy doing soul-crushing mundane work ... so I did a little environmental inspection campaign and counted the number of berry bushes and their colours in 3 biomes of each type.

To do so, I grazed bellwether-only, ate every single bush in the biome one by one and even checked behind trees, carts and inns where I relied on the little circular loading bar to tell me the colour of the hidden bush.

Here are the plotted results for 15 biomes (mostly places I've lived in and surrounding ones). I hope Reddit doesnt fuck with the quality of the image (I know the text is veryyyyyy small) 😅
