Hruggek is the chief deity of bugbears and 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.
