ACTIONS

Hugbear Stare: The hugbear gazes at one humanoid, beast or monstrosity it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must make a DC 12 Wisdom save or be charmed for 24 hours or until it is attacked by the hugbear or it’s allies. A creature that successfully saves against the effect is immune to this effect for the next 24 hours. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by it.
Bear Hug: Melee Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature can’t take actions or reactions except to escape the grapple, and the hugbear can't Bear Hug another target. A hugbear can use an action to deal 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage to a creature in its Bear Hug, but it always chooses to Knock a Creature Out rather than kill it if the creature falls to 0 hit points or less.
