Common Monster
Bugbear
Brutish goblinoids that overwhelm foes through raw strength and numbers
Lore
The Bugbear lurks through the shadowed corners of European folklore as a creature used to frighten children and wandering travelers alike. Described as a towering goblin-like beast with claws, tangled fur, and glowing eyes, the Bugbear was said to hide in dark forests, ruined houses, and beneath beds waiting for the careless or disobedient. Over centuries, the legend evolved into a symbol of fear itself, a monster whispered about in candlelit homes whenever strange noises echoed in the night.
