Bugbears are relatives of goblins, although they tend to be
larger and more hairy. They are aggressive carnivores and
sometimes kill just for the treasure their victims may be
carrying.

Bugbears are giant, hairy cousins of goblins who frequent the same
areas as their smaller relatives. Bugbears are large and very
muscular, standing 7' tall. Their hides range from light yellow to
yellow brown and their thick coarse hair varies in colour from
brown to brick red. Though vaguely humanoid in appearance,
bugbears seem to contain the blood of some large carnivore. Their
eyes recall those of some savage bestial animal, being greenish
white with red pupils, while their ears are wedge shaped, rising
from the top of their heads. A bugbear's mouth is full of long
sharp fangs.
Bugbears have two main goals in life: survival and treasure. They
are superb carnivores, winnowing out the weak and careless
adventurer, monster, and animal. Goblins are always on their toes
when bugbears are present, for the weak or stupid quickly end up
in the stewpot.
