The Bar-lgura or leaping demon, is similar to an orangutan except for its gruesome visage and tushes. Its hands and feet have six digits with exceptionally long claws. Its fur is reddish-brown and its claws are yellowish-gray.

   Bar-Igura communicate using telepathy.

COMBAT

The bar-lgura attacks with its claws and bite in combat. The favored tactic is to assault a foe from ambush, leaping to the attack when their prey comes within range.

   Spell-Like Abilities: At will—darkness, desecrate, detect good, detect thoughts, entangle, fear, see invisible, telekinesis, and teleport without error (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); 2/day—change self, invisibility, and spectral hand. These abilities are as the spells cast by an 8th-level sorcerer (save DC 10 + spell level).

   Chameleon (Ex): As a free action, the bar-lgura can change its coloration to match that of its surroundings. This grants it a +12 racial bonus on Hide checks.

   Summon Demons (Sp): Once per day a bar-lgura can attempt to summon 1d6 additional bar-lguras with a 35% chance of success.

   Demon Qualities (Ex): Immune to poison and electricity; cold, fire, and acid resistance 20.

   Telepathy (Su): Bar-lguras can communicate with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.

   Skills: Bar-Iguras receive a +8 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks.

   Feats: Bar-lguras gain Spring Attack as a bonus feat.

The Bar-Lgura first appeared in module S4 (Gary Gygax, 1982).
