	On their own, bugbears tend to brutality to the point of bestiality. They band together in semi-nomadic gangs of hunter-gatherers; who frequently pillage, raid and plunder their surroundings, both for precious stones and metals and for captives. They are natural bullies and thugs, due to their aggression and territorial natures, being kept in line by the strongest and most aggressive of their kind. That's... about all what D&D has to say on bugbear society. So how are they different from any other 1970s-D&D humanoid?		On their own, bugbears tend to brutality to the point of bestiality.

	The late-1970s [[Drow series]] mooted a halfhearted answer, posing the Depths' bugbears as slavers and slave-traders, serving the drow. [[~~Races of X\|~~Races of Ansalon]], the [[Dragonlance]] splatbook that gives the most information on bugbears as a potential PC race, just goes back to thuggery. Here they rarely practice slavery, preferring to eat what they catch instead.

	Despite this, bugbears actually aren't idiots. They readily integrate into more structured societies (although how well, and to which masters, depends somewhat on edition), and often take over [[goblin]] tribes to make them do the work for them. Bugbears are known to be part of the civilized [[goblinoid]] societies in [[Eberron]], and the [[Nentir Vale]] even has an urban-dwelling bugbear tribe that has quite successfully remade itself into a crime syndicate.

	Ironically, the Complete Book of Humanoids for AD&D 2e does include a brief bit of fiction preceding the segment on how [[humanoid]] PCs could be a way to get milage out of the [[Reincarnation]] spell by describing an [[adventurer]] whose slain warrior-woman lover was brought back in the body of a female bugbear, and seemed uninclined to let her new shape get in the way of her love-life. Add to it that the same book also states that most adventuring bugbears are females trying to get away from the abusive ~~patriarchial~~ society of their kind and the old /tg/ tradition of "love can bloom on the battlefield", and it's surprising nobody on /tg/ has ever really mounted a serious campaign to make bugbear-girls a thing like [[goblin]]-girls...

	'''Bugbear''' is a Middle English name for the same kind of basic dark [[fey]] or evil spirit more commonly referred to as a boogeyman; a malicious and scary monster that relishes in spreading fear to others. They are most relevant to /tg/ for their existence as one of the three major species of [[goblinoid]] in the worlds of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] (and by extension [[Pathfinder]]).
