Homebrew Eberron Bugbear Species Details

Neither bugs nor bears, bugbears are the hulking cousins of goblins and hobgoblins. They are one of the only goblinoids to be covered in fur. Like the other goblinoids in Eberron, bugbears were once part of the dominant civilization of Khorvaire thousands of years ago. Today, they are found across Eberron, but are most likely to be found as part of the Ghaal'dar, Marguul, or the Dhakaani

They are long of limb and covered in coarse hair, with wedge-shaped ears and pointed teeth. Despite their formidable build, bugbears are quiet skulkers, thanks to a ancient magebreeding that allows them to hide in spaces seemingly too small for them.
