Some bugbears are stillborn, but suddenly wheeze in a sharp intake of breath and return to life a full hour after their dead birth. Forever half-dead, these things, called koblaks, have eyes even larger than their kin and see through walls and over hills. Koblaks are half in our world, half in the next, and they do not die easily. Time refuses to reap them, and some live for centuries.

In swampy environs or near great rivers, another form of bugbears, called murds, is said to exist. Its fur caked in muddy earth, the thing can turn into sludge-like tar. It’s said a murd fears all serpents and cannot enter a house where a snake is kept as a pet.

Bugbear Feats
Smell Fear
You can catch the sour scent of fear on the wind.
Prerequisites: Bugbear.
Benefit: You receive a +4 bonus on Perception checks to detect creatures with the shaken, frightened, or panicked conditions using scent. You can substitute your Perception skill for Sense Motive skill checks if the subject has one of the previous conditions or is attempting to cover up their fear in some way.
Scent of Fear
All bugbears smell fear, but some sense it far more keenly than others. These bugbears gain advantages against most foes and prove particularly dangerous against those whose spirits are curdled by terror.
Prerequisites: Smell Fear Feat.
Benefit: You can track by smell and automatically pinpoint the location of opponents by scent alone if they are within 30 feet. In addition, you gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls against shaken or frightened opponents, and you can detect them at twice the normal scent range (120 feet, pinpoint at 60 feet). You gain a +2 bonus on all Will saves as long as a shaken or frightened target is in range. You cannot be surprised by anyone who is shaken or frightened within range of your enhanced sense of smell.
Sow Terror
Bugbears are stealthy, and sometimes they use their skill at furtiveness to inspire dread in their prey.
Prerequisite: Bugbear.
Benefit: Anytime you win an opposed Stealth check by 5 or more you might sow terror as a standard action. You do so by scraping your nails slightly on a solid surface, causing a board to creak ever so lightly, or rapping on a window pane. The victim cannot detect the source of the sound and dismisses it as the wind or some other mundane source, but the idea that something might be lurking nearby festers in the victim’s subconscious. The victim must roll a Will save (DC 10 + ½ your character level + your Charisma modifier) or become shaken for 1d4 rounds.
Edit : Wikkawak does not get (Intimidating) Intimidating Prowess. Improved Resistance replaces it.
Bugbears were ok as they were, imho but I defiantly like the koblak idea. I can see many uses for the race as a intermediate baddy in low-med level campaigns.
Yeah. I got all kinds of ideas with goblinoids for making my own module called We Be Goblins Three.
I'm leaning more towards this option for the Murd.
Murd = 16 RP

This is also a possible option that might speak more to bugbears and the variants.

Specialized (+2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Int) (1 RP)
So that would bring down each on by 1 point.
