In Mystara, Hruggek is the real name of the Immortal Bartziluth, the patron of bugbears.
History[edit]
Bartziluth was originally a bugbear from the Broken Lands, where he was renowned for smashing the faces of his enemies with his morningstar. No one actually knows how he reached Immortality, or who sponsored him to the sphere of energy. Since his ascension though, he has been the patron of bugbears everywhere.
Appearance[edit]
Bartziluth appears as a huge bugbear, wearing shining leather armor and carrying his signature morningstar. He looks as savage as most bugbears, but his eyes show craftiness and intelligence.
Personality[edit]
Bartziluth is always seeking to witness well-fought battles, taking pleasure in watching warriors going berserk in the midst. He has no personal allies, and is enemies with Halav and Atzanteotl, though Atzanteotl refuses to consider him a proper enemy, which frustrates Bartziluth.
