Bugbear

A bugbear is an imaginary monster or creature that can make you scared. It is usually described as a huge, hairy creature with big teeth and claws that can come alive in stories and movies. It is also something that people use as a way of scaring children, like saying “If you don’t do your chores, the bugbear will get you!” It is just an imaginary creature, so it doesn’t really exist, so there’s nothing to be scared of!
