So, compared with many other humanoid races, bugbears have changed relatively little over the years. As with those other races, they have become more detailed and varied in use since. Its function in the original editions is as a means of extending the list of five "evil tribal humanoid" races one further step, and thus providing a continuing challenge once characters had reached 3rd level or so. The D&D conception of the bugbear is initially an exceptionally large and hairy goblin.
By that time, bugbears, like the bogeyman, seem to have been used more as something to frighten children into obedience (such as, say, not wandering off into the forest) than as anything seriously believed in by adults. Whether or not the second half was originally meant to indicate that the spirit in question looked bear-like is less apparent, but it was certainly used as such in the Late Middle Ages. The first half of the word likely has the same origin as the word "bogeyman", and implies a sort of evil spirit. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin.While in modern English, the term "bugbear" is really only used to mean a source of irritation or a recurring problem, it did originally refer to a kind of supernatural being. You can use this trait only once per combat. If you surprise a creature and hit it with an attack on your first turn in combat, the attack deals an extra 2d6 damage to it. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. Bugbears are between 6 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 250 and 350 pounds. Bugbears endure a harsh existence that demands each of them to remain self-sufficient, even at the expense of their fellows. Bugbears reach adulthood at age 16 and live up to 80 years.Īlignment.
