Klarg the Bugbear

With a slight modification of the goblin instructions, I also built the boss for the first chapter of Lost Mine of Phandelver, the bugbear Klarg. I made the head similar to the go
blin heads, but bigger, and in a teardrop shape rather than a sphere. I cut off the narrow end of the teardrop before baking to make the flattened face of the bugbear.

I made the body and neck as described in the previous instructions, then cut two pieces of pipe cleaner and formed each into a U-shape. I used hot glue to affix both to the back and sides of the body. I cut down the upper pipe cleaner to form the arms, then added hands made from dabs of hot glue and glued on a club made from a broken wooden skewer. I bent the longer bottom pipecleaner section forward then down and made legs and feet. I lightly painted the pipecleaners brown and the body in a black leather.

I added a black kilt/loincloth to cover the odd joining of the legs with the body, making it out of paper mache like the cape. The cape itself I made a bit larger than the goblin capes. I used a 1.5-in washer for the base and again glued down sawdust, then painted it black with a tan drybrush overcoat to simulate a straw-covered floor.
