Bugbear

Bugbears are a race of goblinoids, fiercely individualistic in contrast to hobgoblins, and they are the goblinoids most willing to collaborate with humans and elves. They are renowned for being excellent bounty hunters and burglars. Bugbears enjoy combat and brutality but also tend to be lazy. They enjoy making other creatures do their work for them.

Appearance
Bugbears resemble tall, hairy goblins. They stand around 7 feet tall.
