Goiter is a Bugbear NPC on the Sixth Floor.

AI Description

Goiter – Bugbear. Level 42.
Council member of this settlement.
One of the few races who managed to not get fully wiped out by Scolopendra’s nine-tier attack, the bugbears are now one of the most common races one might find in the Kapok district of the Hunting Grounds, second only to the Ursine and the Bush Elves.
Bugbears are on the same evolutionary tree as goblins and hobgoblins, which is to say they’re ugly and mean and are rumored to have sexual relations with toads. Like hobgoblins, they’re known for blowing stuff up, but the explosions they cause tend to be involuntary. They are engineers at heart and spend their days attempting to construct automatons and vehicles and other contraptions with varying degrees of success.
Despite their name, they are not actually bears. Their neighbors and rivals, the Ursine, are happy to point this out every chance they get.
You gotta treat a bugbear like you would treat the enormous, drunk guy at the end of the bar. It could go either way. He’ll either want to fight you or be your buddy. And there ain’t no way to predict which one it’ll be.^[1]
