Bugbears

bugbears

Bugbears are sturdy, shaggy ursine folk who hail from the foothills and mountains. Generally known to be strong of body and will, they often pursue adventure to test themselves. Culturally bugbears tend to be down to earth people who work the land as farmers and hunters, and enjoy nothing more than a good rasslin' match and a nice tall glass of rascal cider. Just don't get on their bad side—bugbear tempers are legendary.
