Bugbears!
 The
main cultural mass of Bugbears inhabit the far northern reaches of Vastonia
within a mysterious archipelago of islands called the Octagayin. They have lived
there for many, many years. Now one of the dominant races in Vastonia the Bugbears
reign over the Octagayin with glorious pride and control most of the northern
sea's with their formidable pirate fleet of heartless swashbucklers. Within
the Bugbear clans one supreme head leads all others, he is known as the chieftain.
This individual is determined through physical combat. The strongest, most skilled
of the Bugbears continuously holds this position of ultimate power. Being of
superior physical size and obvious ruggedness, Bugbears make for excellent player
characters. They tend to have good strength, high dexterity and impressive constitutions.
The mental fortitude of a Bugbear can sometimes lack to some degree, but this
is made up for it in cunning and clever wit. Their own language consists of
a series of grunts, snarls and gestures which more than often fool their enemies
into believing them an easy race to overcome.
Physical
Features
Called
Bugbears because of their facial resemblance to that of a bear, rather than
being related in any way to the actual creature. Bugbears are totally covered
in a thick, head to toe, layer of brown, tan or brick red colored fur. Their
hides range in color from light yellow to yellowish brown. Only their faces
and the bottoms of their feet bare no fur. Their eyes are generally black or
greenish white with red pupils. Their ears resemble long wedges which protrude
from the highest points of their head. All Bugbears have sharp fangs which fill
their mouths and sharp claws which they readily use to chomp down on raw meat
in which they prefer. Bugbears also have a keen sense of smell, which they use
to track down their prey and superior vision which gives them the ability to
see into the infrared spectrum to some degree. They typically stand between
6'6 to 7' on average and weigh anywhere from 195 lbs to 300 lbs. Bugbears live
rather short lives, but some have been know to live to ripe old ages nearing
85 years.
