General Description
Bugbears are larger Greenskins, with broad shoulders covered with coarse black hair, prominent tusks, small ears, almost feline noses and massively muscled arms. They also have long, frizzy hair on their heads that is often left to grow as long as possible.
Role in the Horde
The Bugbears of the clan are third from bottom on the hierarchy of Greenskins, and in combat are usually put in charge of large, disorganised troupes of Goblins to go and cause as much damage as possible, acting almost as a squad sergeant to them. Their larger size and great strength often greatly improves the survival rate of their Goblin squad mates. As a result, many Goblin cliques are led outside of combat by a Bugbear too, and they will often earn the nickname "Boss" from their subordinates.
