Origins
The Bugbear is one of a race of creatures with origins in English mythology, legend and folklore. In particular, stories of their exploits are often referred to in cautionary tales meant to frighten children into obedience.
Appearance
The body of a Bugbear is broad and ranges from husky to heavyset, though prominent members of their social group may also be muscular.
Their skin tends toward the tan and brown hues, and their ears almost always point. Their eye color can be any across the spectrum, with heterochromia being reasonably common.
Furthermore, as the latter half of their name implies, Bugbears have varying degrees of ursine (bear-like) traits. Some Bugbears may have bodies like a Goblin or a Hobgoblin or an Ogre or a Troll with only a bear-like nose, while others have a fully ursine head, and others may have bear-like hair, fangs and/or claws.
Facial hair is common in males, and not unheard of in females. Ears are most commonly pointed in more Goblinoid Bugbears.
