Augury Bugbear

Bugbears’ individualistic spirit makes them well suited for adventuring life, provided they do not allow themselves to be ruled too fully by their superstitious nature. A bugbear might find themselves on this path after leaving their tribe to earn coin as a mercenary, or may have sacrificed their totem, sworn themselves to a cause and left their tribe behind them.

Bugbears tend to keep themselves to themselves, and feel uncomfortable if ever made the center of attention, or even if met with sustained eye contact. When uncomfortable, it is not uncommon for them to lash out.
