Description

edit

The Banderlog resembles a fat Baboon with green skin, brown fur (this creates an almost violet look) and a large mouth and lips. It is a mischievous, fun-loving creature which lurks in trees and throws fruits such as mangos and coconuts filled with a nauseatting juice down at passersby. If it is throwing these at an enemy, they cause poisoning and strength damage as well. They are clearly inspired by the Bandar-log monkeys from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.

Banderlogs cannot speak, being animals.

They are neutral in alignment.

Other publishers

The banderlog appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[3]
