![[ZirPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Zir _Bugbear Bouncer | [[Sleeping Giant]] | [[Phandalin]]_ ## Summary An imposing yet oddly endearing bugbear who once served the [[Cragmaw Tribe]] but now works as bouncer at the rowdy [[Sleeping Giant]] in [[Phandalin]]. After being captured by the heroes and forced to guide them to [[Cragmaw Castle]], he witnessed [[King Grol]]'s downfall and left the violent life behind. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance Towering seven feet and 300 pounds of mottled brown fur and muscle, with a jagged scar down his face. Wears mismatched leather and chainmail; a heavy maul is strapped to his back, more for show than use. ## Personality A mix of contradictions — intimidating in appearance but jittery and easily startled, comically fearful, and quick to avoid conflict. Shows unwavering loyalty to anyone who is kind to him, and has a compulsive need to collect shiny objects he believes protect him. ## Quote _"Please don't start any trouble… I'd rather not have to use this maul. It's really more of a decoration, you see."_ ## Connections **[[King Grol]]** — his former Cragmaw leader, whose downfall he witnessed.
