Is this an intentional misspelling, or should servator -> servitor?

Servitor Lineages

I know these are based on the older d&d-style monster races, but under the pathfinder personalities bugbears being descended from catfolk and goblins from gnomes makes more sense. The bugbear description is pretty much a large outdoor cat:

They are loners, preferring to live and kill on their own rather than form tribes of their own kind, yet it isn't uncommon to find small bands of bugbears working together, or dwelling in goblin or hobgoblin tribes where they function as elite guards or executioners. Bugbears do not form large warrens like goblins or nations like hobgoblins; they prefer smaller-scale mayhem that lets them keep their favorite acts (murder and torture) on a more personal level. Humans are a bugbear's favored prey, and most count the flesh of humanity as a dietary staple. Grisly trophies of ears or fingers are common bugbear decorations.
