Again this is more crabbing to avoid drift - hitting from off-angles, but the idea of a sort of superhero character who is out to ( Fight fear) or Fight off Death! in a sort of allegorical sense is not unknown in folk mythology. In practice the idea is kind of silly. one might apostrophize ( where the Wild Things are) and nonsense about monsters under the bed ( which could be pests on the prowl in real life).

A poetic device used to address absent or imaginary people/objects as if they were present or alive and able to respond.

Example: "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Apostrophe as a literary term denotes a figure of speech in which someone absent, inanimate or dead is addressed as if were alive and present and able to reply.

Cliché example. Warrior: 'Thou sword at my left hand, wilt thou serve me in the coming battle?'

(Note also the phrase to apostrophize the multitude - to talk to a crowd as if did not consist of people ..., to 'shout' at it).

The word "its" without an apostrophe is used to show possession or ownership, typically for inanimate objects or animals. Using an apostrophe in "it's" creates a contraction for "it is" or "it has" instead of showing ownership.
