If a bugbear cuts off your head, your soul stays trapped inside, and the bugbears use your head to magically command all whom you once knew. If you stray too far from the house at night, bugbears will scoop you up to devour you in their den. If you walk alone in the woods, a bugbear will reach out of the bushes and strangle you.
Bugbears feature in the nightmare tales of many races great, hairy beasts that creep through the shadows as quiet as cats.
