Description
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.
Bugbear cursers wield strange magic that they use to debilitate and hinder their enemies. Most bugbear cursers do battle from a distance and carry many unusual implements, components, and totems which they believe empower their magic.
