Traits

Brute. A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the bugbear hits with it (included in the attack). 

Danger Sense. The bugbear has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that it can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, it can’t be blinded, deafenedor incapacitated.

Polearm Mastery. While wielding its glaive, creatures provoke opportunity attacks from the bugbear when they enter its reach.

Reckless Attack. When the bugbear makes its first attack on its turn, it can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives it advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until its next turn.

Surprise Attack. If the bugbear surprises a creature and hits it with an attack during the first round of combat, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) damage from the attack.

Actions

Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) slashing damage, or 17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage while raging.

Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage in melee, 13 (2d6 + 6) piercing damage in melee while raging, or 8 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage at range.

Bonus Actions

Polearm Strike. When the bugbear uses its action to make a glaive attack, it can use its bonus action to make another glaive attack, except it deals 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage on a hit instead, or 11 (2d4 + 6) slashing damage while raging. 

Rage (3/day). The bugbear enters a rage, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if the bugbear is knocked unconscious or if the bugbear’s turn ends and it hasn’t attacked a hostile creature since the bugbear’s last turn or taken damage since then. The bugbear gains the following benefits while raging: 

  • It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • When it makes a melee weapon attack using Strength, it adds 2 extra damage to the damage roll.
  • It has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
  • The first creature it hits with an attack each turn has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn’t against the bugbear, and when the target hits a creature other than the bugbear with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if the bugbear’s rage ends.
