In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, Hruggek is the chief deity of bugbears.
Hruggek is the god of Violence and Combat. Other gods worshipped by the bugbears include Grankhul, the god of hunting, senses, and surprise; and Skiggaret the god of fear.
Hruggek lives in a great cave in the Outer Plane of Pandemonium called Hruggekolohk. He decorates his home with the severed heads of his conquered opponents.
