Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What does a female hobgoblin or female bugbear look like?

I wonder, why hasn't anyone I met mistake Lae'zel for a female hobgoblin or female bugbear? I mean, a skinny one or a less body hair one.

I'm gong to say "Because they really look nothing alike" - May as well as why they haven't mistaken her for a particularly tall dwarf or a much less draconic dragonborn, the answer would be the same.

As far as I'm aware, hobgoblins and bugbears only display mild dimorphic differences between sexes - certainly nothing more pronounced that those of other mamalian humanoid races; no-one is going to mistake Lae'zel for a bugbear because she is very clearly nothing like one.

The hobgoblin iron shadow in Volo's Guide is a female hobgoblin, but wearing a devil mask. They seem to look much like the males, but with more humanoid feminine features. Considering the same is true for goblins, I'd think the same would also be true for bugbears.

Then how about mistaken her for a tall goblin? Someone drunk? Maybe? Saying "oh, a half elf half goblin".

Must be some very pretty face under that mask. Hmmm, must be.

What does a female bugbear look like?
