Bugbear

Bugbear are perhaps one of the rarer monstrous races to find in civilized lands. Standing about a head taller than the average human with a burly body coated in darker shades of fur, usually blacks, browns and greys, oversized pure white eyes and floppy ears, they cut a terrifying form. "Feral" bugbears-those who have refused to become civilized, are a terrifying foe. While they seem as though they would charge like brutes, they are surprisingly soft-footed, often using stealth to take their prey. Very few are prepared for the stealth of a 7 foot tall muscled brute. They also tend to focus on a very personal form of killing, inflicting as much pain as possible before finishing off their prey, often taking chunks of muscle to consume as a delicacy at a later time, sometimes even bringing ears, fingers and hands as trophies.

Civilized bugbears are almost always born. Unlike most other races it is incredibly rare for them to join a country, normally the Unified Republic of Raegor, out of desire for a modernized life as doing so would give up their favorite pleasures. Many civilized bugbear have to fight quite hard to resist the temptations to fall back into their ancestral ways. Unlike most goblinoids, their evil is not one resulting from culture, but also in part from instinct.

Most bugbear mold their life around refraining from falling to their darker side. Some do so by completely removing themselves from the temptation, taking steady and honest work as dock workers, blacksmiths or other craftsmen where their strength or guile can be of use. Others use civilized means to provide an outlet for their urges, taking up jobs in the military, often going quite far with many ending up in scouting or special forces units due to their primal cunning and stealth.

Those who fall to their darker sides though tend to make some of the most feared criminals. More than a few assassin organizations claim bugbears as among their members, and thieves guilds adore them for their ability to be an enforcer who knows the need for subtlety.

They reach maturity around 15 and usually live into their 60's depending on lifestyle.
