Balsag The Hunter (Concept + Credits) [Revised Stat Blocks]

# 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).

## Grip and Fang
 
 Grip and Fang are Balsag's most trusted companions, never leaving his side. These chonky rats are bigger than most dogs, and smell even worse than the bugbear they travel with.

Grip is usually within earshot of Balsag scavenging for food, or sneaking from bench to bench and gnawing the drawstrings off coin purses for his crafty master.
 
 Fang spends most of her time perched atop Balsag's shoulder, or flitting about under his cloak. She prefers to be concealed, occasionally popping out to steal a bit of food that was on it's way                       to                 Balsag's               mouth!
