(later vomiting anything undigestible, bones, jewelry ect.) if confronted or attacked, they prefer to run than fight, hissing and growling ect. they are not very bold unless in numbers or very hungry. they can at any time sprout any number insect-like/evil-looking apendages, most commonly, spidery limbs to scuttle away, bat-like wings to escape, or wolverine-esque claws [snikt!) for attack and defence. like most things in d&d they are the product of magic gone awry or from another plane of existance.<br />http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31000000/Evil-Bear-random-31036687-600-779.jpgzombotron2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/06949534314859989338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-38931006297551352122015-03-19T07:08:34.635-07:002015-03-19T07:08:34.635-07:00I think the site ate my previous comment, so here ...I think the site ate my previous comment, so here goes again:<br /><br />I was hoping for something that fitted abit better with the amazons of the devored land series of articles.<br /><br />It is interesting how diferent people get to diferent conceots from the same starting idea(e.g.: reinvent the bugbear).<br /><br />when I wa sreinventing the Bugbear for my setting I had it that the "bug" in bugbear is the same as the bog in "bogeyman" and "nursery bogies", being it that abogey was a frightenign creature.<br /><br />the bear parts came from they being Bears, having bear features(heads, claws, etc...) or wearing bearskin.<br /><br />Thus in my setting Bugbears are supernatural Bears used by nature gods to punish creatures (nromally humans0 for real or perceived ofences (e.g.. not paying proper respect with sacrifices, killing a sacred animal, dessecreting aglove, reproducing too much, etc...)<br /><br /><br />CJGeringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367654304370593518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-38454095268265203182015-03-19T06:02:51.595-07:002015-03-19T06:02:51.595-07:00bugbear is also a really good name for a tardigrad...bugbear is also a really good name for a tardigradespikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429845269865401908noreply@blogger.com
