Skeletal demons covered in leathery black skin with oversized hands, feet and head
Babau are also known by demonologists as horned demons or bone demons. They are around 7-ft tall and look like skeletons covered in a leathery black skin. The babau's feet, taloned hands and head are grossly oversized, nearly the same as a hill giant's. From the base of its skull protrudes a hooked horn.
These demons are known for their cunning intelligence and strength (19). In combat, they prefer to use any sort of weaponry if it is to their advantage. In the heat of battle, they secrete a slimy rust coloured ichor that halves damage from melee weapons, as blows slide off their bodies. Their typical mode of attack involves leaping from above onto unwary victims
Babau are despised by class A, B and C demons. Class D demons especially hate bands of babau, and hunt them for food.
