Bugbear

Lore

Bugbears are large Goblinoids. They are known for their vicious, antagonistic behavior. Bugbears tend to live in family groups that operate like packs, with a pack Alpha. They mainly coexist peacefully, but when moods towards the Alpha turn sour, other strong members of the clan may try to oust the Alpha and claim rule for themselves. They are found throughout the known world tending to lean towards Mercenary work or coexisting with other goblinoids. Bugbears have standard life spans reaching adulthood at age 16 and living up to 80 years. They stand anywhere from 6 to 8 feet tall and weigh as much as 150 kilograms making them superb fighters.
