Dragon Heist / Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Bugbears are hairy goblinoids born for battle and mayhem. They survive by raiding and hunting, but are fond of setting ambushes and fleeing when outmatched.

Bugbears resembled hairy, feral goblins standing 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall.

They took their name from their noses and claws, which are similar to those of bears.

Their claws are not long and sharp enough to be used as weapons, so bugbears often armor and arm themselves with a variety of purloined gear, which is normally second-rate and in poor repair.
