Description
Bugbears live in loose
bands (6 to 36 warriors), and are typically found in the same areas
as are goblins. Unlike their smaller cousins, however, these hairy
giant goblins operate equally well in bright daylight or great
darkness. (as they have infravision [Short Range = 8 meters]), so
they are as likely to choose a habitation above ground as they are
to select a subterranean abode.
If 12 or more bugbears are
encountered there will be a leader. If 24 or more are encountered
there will be the following additional bugbears: a chief and a sub-chief.
If encountered in their lair there will always be a chief and
sub-chief, and there will be females and young equal to 50 percent
each of the number of males. Neither of the latter types of bugbears
will fight unless in a life-or-death situation. In the latter case
the females fight as
Militia.
Leaders will be the most
experienced members of the group.
Although bugbears are
clumsy looking and walk with a shambling gait, they are actually
able to move very quickly and with great stealth.
Bugbears speak
goblin and
hobgoblin in addition to their racial tongue.
Description: The
skin of bugbears is light yellow to yellow brown — typically dull
yellow. Their hair ranges in color from lusterless tannish brown to
brick red. Their eyes are greenish white with red pupils. The odds
and ends of clothing they wear tends to be ill-kept, dirty and
dingy. They live for approximately 75 years.
Bugbears typically lag between
one and two tech levels behind the world's current tech level.
Their arms and equipment are generally cast-offs of more advanced
societies.
