Friendly Bugbears

I like the idea of some bugbears friendly to communities they live near them. However I think they would still be obsessed with the concept of fear and mostly solitary.

Basically imagine a bugbear coming down for festivals and acting as a Krampus figure, or going door to door threatening to eat naughty children if not offered wine and food.

(Note that friendly does not mean not mean not an enabler of probably bad parenting technigques. I’m basing this off real life traditions of people in costumes)

Bugbears should creep and crawl more in art

Not like a gorilla but like Japanese spiderman

They’re the monsters under the bed turned into a d&d race, but its only recently recently online communities are starting to go “hey, these guys are written to be stealthy!”

Personally I also think they should be naturally flexible race, basically similar to Tooms from the X-files in getting into places they shouldn’t with their size.

…That honestly explains why a bugbear might wear armor not easy to take off in town, it puts other races at ease that they can’t sneak around easily.
