Barlgura

Bar-lguras (bar-lu-GOR-az ) or barlguras, also known as leaping demons, were ape-like tanar'ri demons.

Description
Bar-lguras were covered in reddish-brown hair and stood between 5 and 6 feet tall. They appeared similar to orangutans. They usually walked on all four limbs, but were able to stand on two legs.

Society
Bar-lguras were used as scouts and footsoldiers by more powerful demons. They preferred to fight and travel in packs, but they didn't like the company of lesser demons. Bar-lguras served Demogorgon and when seen outside of the Abyss were associated with the Cult of Demogorgon.

Combat
Some, but not all, bar-lguras wielded weapons and wore humanoid armor. They used their powerful arms and legs to attack, as well as their claws. They set ambushes when possible. They were able to use their teleport ability to teleport both themselves and enemies. A favorite tactic was to teleport an enemy into a sealed area where it could not escape. Like other tanar'ri, bar-lguras could summon other demons when they were in dire straits.
