5e:Bugbear
< Monster
Bugbear Overview [1], [2]
Unofficial Description: Bugbears are the largest, but least civilized (and perhaps the least intelligent) of the goblinoids.
3.5e lore
Bugbears prefer to ambush opponents whenever possible. When hunting, they normally send scouts ahead of the main group that, if they spy prey, return to report and bring up reinforcements.
Bugbear attacks are coordinated, and their tactics are sound if not brilliant.
