      Well, if you want to keep the game lore intact, and surprise your veteran players, call it a “bearbug”.

      -“In front of you, you see a bearbug”

      -“Do you mean a bugbear?”

      -“Did I stutter?”

        Thankfully, no one at my table knows what a bugbear is. And that’s also just not the way English tends to work. A bearbug is clearly a small, hairy beetle.
