Warriors are the tribe's elite, the headman's inner-circle, and are often bound together by blood ritual. In battle, warriors fight ferociously and show no mercy, as their invariably large collections of heads attest.

In the long before, there was a young bugbear who thought himself the wisest, quickest, and quietest hunter in the forest. He spurned his totem, saying for all to hear that he was superior to all birds and beasts; even the great grey owl. In his arrogance, he said he would kill the next owl he saw.

That very night, he saw the great grey owl and shot at him with his bow. The owl had heard him, of course, and took flight. With the wind of his silent wings, he transformed the bugbear. Now, instead of wise, he was ignorant. Instead of quick, he was lumbering.

Instead of quiet, he crashed and roared in the night.

Now, those of the wolf outsmart him, those of the deer outrun him, and those of the cat he does not see at all.

Large, hairy goblins with an ungainly gait. Favour attacking by surprise.
