Hruggek

Hruggek was the chief deity of bugbears, and was the god of ambush, violence, and combat. At one time he was an exarch of the greater god Bane. Other gods worshiped by the bugbears included Grankhul, the god of hunting, senses, and surprise; and Skiggaret, the god of fear. Hruggek lives in a large cave in Pandemonium called Hruggekolohk. His home is adorned with the severed heads of his defeated opponents.

Description

Hruggek appeared as a massive, powerful bugbear, 12 ft (3.7 m) tall. He had great fangs and clawed hands and feet, and wielded a 10-foot long morningstar.

Worshippers

Hruggek's priests dressed in black and wore skulls on their heads. He was worshiped on the full moon in bugbear cave halls. Bugbears sacrificed the blood of their enemies to Hruggek every month.
