Bugaboo

Adversaries Designed by James Bratten • Art by Sandboy OC

Adversary overview

Approximately 7 ft tall, Bugaboos look both "terrifying and cartoonish." They take the general shape of a bear with no neck, enormous owl-like eyes, "comically skinny legs," and long but "absurdly thin" arms. They are covered in obsidian-colored hair.

You know that creepy, unkempt guy who lives on the corner? He doesn’t seem to have a job. Has a van. Hangs out at the park with a pair of binoculars? Yeah, you get the idea. Solitary monstrosities that never settle in a single place, Bugaboos may be found anywhere on the dungeon’s lower floors, often lying in wait for Crawlers to pass by so they can jump out and… do things to them. They’ll tell you they just want to cuddle. That’s probably a lie.
