| Those are not his friends |
The boys were cornered and grossed out. When they encountered
the tall pumpkin-headed humanoid n the cave they had sought to avoid it. It
behaved strangely gurgling and writhing. Then it began to retch.
The creatures jaw must have unhinged and the top of its head
folded back. Mucus sputtered out from its esophagus into the air. A hand
reached out from its mouth, covered in what was probably bile, clawing at the
air.
After an interminable moment a goblin pulled itself out of
the large creatures mouth and ran towards us, slipping on its own mucus (or was
it bile) trail.
The boys beat it to death and then slew the larger thing
while it was in the process of spawning another goblin. They defeated the
creatures but we could not unsee what we so desperately wanted to unsee. So, in
a way, the bugbear won.

Fiction of the Thaumaturgist.
The bugbear was probably once a
normal goblin. As far as the scholars know some goblins become cannibalistic
and begin eating other goblins. However goblins do not possess the normal need
that most other creatures have, being sustained by the chaos that flows through
them. The best guess that anyone has is that the chaos somehow melds and
mutates the devourer and the devoured together. It is unknown if the bugbear is
regurgitating the goblins it has eaten or if new goblins are being formed and
spat out when it is agitated.
