Bugbears (comparable to the bogeyman, &c.) are large, nasty, brutish goblinoids similar to Orcs but with large, pointed ears and shaggy fur covering their bodies. They typically live in nomadic villages, and like Orcs and Hobgoblins, they can either work with or actively slaughter humans whenever they feel compelled to. Basically, you take a goblin, make it huge, and wrap it in a nasty carpet to make one. However, despite their size, they tend to be pretty sneaky and also dangerously crafty. They're primarily a staple of Dungeons & Dragons properties. To any good-aligned player character, they are considered extremely ugly, vile creatures and should be exterminated on sight. In Volo's Guide to Monsters it is listed that they worship two gods: one is cunningly brutal and the other is brutally cunning.
