A hirsute, brown-furred humanoid with dark eyes and elongated ears wields a massive, heavily spiked club.   Named for their alien appearance, bugbears embraced the terror-inducing term. The consummate carnivores enjoy the crunch of bones beneath their bloody clubs.   Bullies. While bugbears prefer to hunt and battle alone, they sometimes find themselves in leadership positions over smaller goblinoids. Their command is marked by bouts of terror, where they randomly inflict pain or humiliation on their subordinates. They don’t expect pushback from lesser goblins, but they back down from the rare, coordinated response. This attitude persists when bugbears fight other creatures. If assured of an easy win, they brutalize and taunt their foes. However, they flee when their opponents demonstrate superiority on the battlefield, unless an even more powerful leader threatens their lives.   Sneaky Combatants. Owing to their cowardice, bugbears try to attack with the element of surprise and are deadly against surprised enemies. They wait for cover of darkness or choose locations where they can hide. If the conditions aren’t right, they coerce their subordinates to create a distraction for them.
