In general, bugbears live a life based around survival and become rogues, though many also make excellent barbarians. However, some of the Marguul refused to bow to a hobgoblin, and continue to fight with Haruuc's forces. Īfter the conquest of Darguun during the Last War by Lhesh Haruuc, the Marguul mostly pay homage to him and his court. The Marguul tribes became notorious raiders, and would often clash with the Ghaal'dar and the gnomes of Zilargo.
However, some bugbears rebelled against their tribes, seizing the lands by the Seawall Mountains and forming their own tribes, known as the Marguul, or 'warrior kings'. Īfter the dissolution of the Dhakaani Empire, the bugbears continued to be ruled primarily by the hobgoblins in tribes known as the Ghaal'dar. History īugbears are believed to have originated during the rise of the Dhakaani Empire, bred by the hobgoblins to serve the empire as slaves and elite soldiers. In their own tribes, bugbears tend to prize self-sufficiency and violence among themselves. This claim is not unfounded and bugbears have easily provoked tempers and are prone to fitful rages.
Psychology īugbears have a reputation for being dim-witted and brutish. They take their name from their noses and claws, which are similar to those of bears. Bugbears resemble hairy, feral goblins standing 7 feet tall.
