Balsag The Hunter

The Durbuluk tribe is proud to count Balsag the bugbear as a friend. Balsag, and his two "hounds" (Dire Rats MM pg 64) Grip and Fang, live in the Sunless Citadel when not hunting. They spend about 3/4 of their time in the citadel. When not in residence, he is out in the wider tunnels of the Underdark, hunting game for the Durbuluk tribe. He particularly likes to hunt the fiery, wormlike thoqqua.

The Hunter wears a crown of antlers on his head, harvested from a surface stag, to enhance his frightening demeanor. Balsag heartily attacks any non-Durbuluk he meets, roaring (in Goblin) "Get ready to meet the cookpot!" A bugbear is a larger (7 feet tall), meaner version of a goblin.

Tactics Balsag, a Medium-size creature, usually wields his Medium-size morningstar with two hands, doing an extra 1 1/2 times his Strength damage per strike (an extra 1 point of damage,

already figured into the statistics).
