While most serve in quiet, somewhat stealthy roles, less skilled bugbears have adopted other positions among settlements: butchers, militia members, dock workers, and fortune tellers. Their place in the civilized society of the common races has always been uncertain, but in recent years, it has boomed with the continent's increased interconnectedness. The legendary Aud Dwarven Defender Loddoul Thal defined bugbears in a sentence during the War of Everspring Forest: ' Bugbears, the most honorable backstabbers there is.'ДЄncient immigrants from the far-flung continent of Garthuun, bugbears who reside on the supercontinent of Aelonis have lived across the land longer than most Aelonian dwarves and dragonborn.

Will you be able to see which culture I reference? Let us see. For my world of Eldar, I've gone ahead and rewritten how bugbears are expressed, crafting a culture spliced with my own ideas and the written cultures of another famous work. They are monsters by the D&D definition of the word, foes meant to be fought and killed with little mental recourse. However, their place in most D&D settings bores most. From their depictions in early monster books to their Neverwinter Nights portraits, they've intrigued. Their powerful maw, bodies coated in fur-like hair, and oddly shaped ears. The physical appearance of bugbears has always fascinated me.
