Intruders are considered a valuable source of food, so bugbears rarely bother to negotiate with them. They will eat anything they can kill, including sentient beings. Goblins are always quick on their toes when bugbears are around, for the unwary are liable to end up in a bugbear stew-pot.īugbears are carnivores who survive primarily by hunting. They assume mastery over goblins whenever it suits them. Individual bugbears will sometimes work as mercenaries with other sorts of goblin-kin, acting as front-line muscle or even assuming leadership positions in hobgoblin tribes.

They have to compete with races their smaller cousins don't, such as giants and giant-kin.

Bugbears are less fertile than other goblinoids, however, and have a smaller population. They tend to be sound military tacticians, and individuals can be highly intelligent. Bugbears live a life based around survival, often becoming rogues.
