Neither bugs nor bears, bugbears are the hulking cousins of goblins and hobgoblins. Early bugbears resided in hidden places, in hard-to-reach and shadowed spaces. They are long of limb and covered in coarse hair, with wedge-shaped ears and pointed teeth. Despite their formidable build, bugbears are quiet skulkers, thanks to fey magic that allows them to hide in spaces seemingly too small for them.
