Bugbears

Big, furry, pointed-eared brutes on the same evolutionary tree as goblins and hobgoblins: about Carl’s height but twice as bulky, with eastern-European accents and a reputation for sleeping with toads. One of the few races to survive Scolopendra’s nine-tier attack, they’re now the second-most-common race of the Hunting Grounds’ Kapok district after the Ursine and Bush Elves. Engineers at heart, they tinker endlessly with automatons and vehicles, and, like hobgoblins, cause explosions, though usually involuntary ones. Treat one like the huge drunk at the end of the bar: he’ll either want to fight you or buy you a drink, with no telling which. The council member Goiter (Lv 42) greets Carl atop a half-rebuilt house and offers a drink the instant he hears Carl means to kill the hunters.
