Bugbear

The sight of a bugbear is terrifying to anyone beholding them in their terrible frenzied attacks. Powerful magic, divine intervention, and other unusual circumstances, however, might cure a bugbear of the affliction. These cured individuals, cognizant of their previous situations and the toll it took on them physically and mentally, have a new outlook on life. What they choose to do with their freedom from the grasp of the disease, of course, changes from bugbear to bugbear. Some might seek their own kind, hoping to find groups of bugbears who have not fallen to the disease. These, however, are extremely rare. It’s more likely that these bugbears, having been changed by their experience, attempt to join society to achieve their goals.
