Capabilities[]

Users of this ability can take on the traits of a Bugbear (or are one), the Bugbear is a malevolent goblin in the form of a large and frightening bear that would stand near the edges of forests in English folklore, waiting to lure away children and then devour them - they were classic examples of bogeymen and acted as a means to discourage children from playing near forests, which at the time would have housed dangerous wild animals and criminals.
