Bugbears care far less about gaining territory or forcing surrender than they do about inflicting pain and collecting heads. They’re quick to recognize and appreciate the cruelty in an antipaladin’s heart, and the supernatural ability to inflict pain on others that he brings to bear.
The tyrant doesn’t reserve his violence for enemies of the bugbear race. It doesn’t take much for him to turn on his underlings and slice them up for fun, especially if he’s growing bored.Creatures in "Bugbear" CategoryThis dark-furred creature raises a spiked morningstar, its tiny, milk-white eyes glittering with the thrill of the coming kill.
