Once upon a time, in the Nearby Plains, there was a little cottage where three Bugbears lived. Poppa Bugbear, Momma Bugbear, and Baby Bugbear. So one day, the Bugbear family decided they were going to have a fantastic picnic so they packed a wonderful lunch and walked to the outskirts of Cobb's Knob. The Bugbear family began to unpack their delicious lunch of Knoll shroomkabobs, mushroom pizzas, and cherry pies when they heard an awful sound.
This sound was loud and angry, and seemed to come from the entrance of Cobb's Knob. Poppa Bugbear stood up and went to see what was happening. Poppa Bugbear saw a bunch of Knob Goblins making a lot of noise while they were cooking a barbecue. They had Knob sausages on the grill and spicy noodles as a side dish. All of a sudden, one of the Goblins saw Poppa Bugbear. He immediately ran back to his family and hurried them back to the house. They left their picnic basket... And they also forgot Baby Bugbear!
As the Knob Goblins closed in on Baby Bugbear, there was another awful sound... It was the mighty Goblin King with his glass balls, flowing cape, and menacing crown. He ordered to take Baby Bugbear and make him dance with the Harem Girls. When Poppa Bugbear and Momma Bugbear got home and realized they left Baby Bugbear, they ran to the Degrassi Knoll to ask their Gnollish friends for help.
The Gnolls were not pleased. The Gnolls agreed to storm Cobb's Knob if only the Bugbear family signed a specific contract. The Bugbear family agreed before even knowing what they had to do. In stormed the Gnolls into the Cobb, knocking over tables and chairs. They found poor Baby Bugbear dressed like a Harem girl, dancing for the King. How awful for the little bugbear!
The Gnolls took Baby Bugbear and beat up the Goblin King, for good measure. When the Bugbear family was reunited, the Gnolls came back with the contract that the Bugbears signed. It said that the Bugbears would forever help protect the Gnolls from the Goblins and any other threats. And that is why now Bugbears are the bloodthirsty, ravenous pets of Gnolls, who aren't much less bloodthirsty...
