Bugbear

This article contains extensive fanon enhancement.
==Bugbear==
Bugbears are furry, muscular beings with a habit of eating human organs. Compared the many fantastical threats of the world, bugbears aren't particularly powerful or brave... but they are clever, sneaky, and patient, terrorizing any who travel by moonlight. Some say bugbears can smell fear. Some say fear sustains them.
===Haunting Everywhere===
It's uncommon knowledge that bugbears don't just haunt humans. Bugbears will hunt most sapient creatures, including dinomen, dwarves, and elves. Ambitious bugbears may take their visceral addiction further, seeking the organs of trolls, ogres, and other powerful creatures. Some say a bugbear of legend has spent a lifetime training to slay a dragon and take its heart.
===Bugbears in the Light===
If they must appear in the light of day, bugbears prefer razor-edged armor and bloody paint designs. Shields painted like stabbed hearts or wailing faces are a common motif among bugbear mercenaries, along with necklaces of ears or fingers, showcasing the fate of the bugbears' previous foes.
===Territorial Disputes===
Bugbears like having old, valuable places to themselves so they can terrorize wanderers... but this leads to them having to fight anything that's already made a home there. Bugbears will fight bugs, vermin, even ghosts in their own homes to attain a quiet, disconcerting plot of land.

==Relations==
While bugbears are loners, their leftovers tend to attract the attention of other species. Adventurous Corpse-Eaters may find the trail of a bugbear to be a solid source of sustenance, as long as they don't get caught.
Bugbears themselves are occasionally known to bond with small, quiet animals that don't get in their way. Those with particular skill or magic may be aided by more powerful animals, such as big cats.
==Dead Monster Bits ==
Some say bugbear spleens are worth a lot for stealth potions... but the real money is on whatever bounty a local bugbear has accrued due to their nasty habit of killing wanderers and eating their organs.
