Happy Halloween! Here’s a bugbear! Bugbear magic seems to work on a “we can do anything as long as it’s scary” logic. One of them must’ve been really chummy with a sphinx back in the day to get sphinxes to decide that they should have medallions.

See now I adore the idea of pre-medallion bugbear and sphinx bffs. I imagine they were like the earliest version of goths… or the exact opposite.
Given the noble Bugbear quest to keep humans out of trouble, I’m sure the Sphinxes were all too eager to asist.
Of course, if Bugbears are extremely adept shape-shifters who know when anybody is looking at them or even thinking about them, did they really need medallions in the first place?
Regular humans aren’t particularly scary so they probably have a hard time shifting into them.
Are you kidding? Falling into a sweet spot of the uncanny valley is about the scariest thing they can do.
Geez, at that level, is it attempted homicide at this point?!
Have you heard of the Cactus Cat? Any chance the Cactus Cat cryptid is still running around in the SD universe, or did it go extinct?
New theory: Kaijus? All bugbears (or whatever the local equivalent is around the world)
I love bugbears, they are my favourite creatures.
New Theory: Bugbears helped the surviving sphinxes vanish in exchange for medallions.
So, Roger Rabbit toon rules but for horror instead of comedy… Interesting.
I wonder if it ends up depending to some extent on what the target considers frightening…
So if a bugbear encountered an economist with no real personality and only scared of “line goes down”, would a bugbear dignify that fear? We know there is no upper limit, but is there a lower limit?
I honestly love bugbears, and this looks and sounds rad as hell. I wouldn’t be surprise if some hypothetical long ago sphinx either thought it would be funny to give bgubears medallions; or was like “yea they’re fear-mongering tricksters who are constantly either stirring things up or scaring people half to death, but come on, he’s my drinking buddy. I can’t not help ’em out!”
