Known as the slime demodand,
a kelubar is of shorter stature and thicker
build than a farastu. Although
it is of ebon hue, a kelubar tends to glisten
due to a slimy skin secretion.
A kelubar attacks with nails and jaws, and
any hitwill cause the victim
tosuffer 1 -6additional pointsofdamagedue
to the acidic nature of
the slime, unless a saving throw vs. poison is
successful (or the victim
is otherwise unaffected by acid). If all 3 of its
attacks per round are successful,
the kelubar has grappled the victim and
enslimed it. From 4-24 points
of additional damage due to the acidic slime
then occur, ie., 2-8/2-814-16/4-24.
A saving throw reduces acid damage
by 50% if successful.
A kelubar can employ atthe
13th level the following spell-like powers, 1 at
a time, 1 per round, at
will: detect good, detect invisibility, detect magic,
dispelmagic (3 times per
day), ESP, fascinate, fog cloud(3 times per day),
gaseous form. invisibility,
ray of enfeeblement (once per day), tongues,
and weakness (reversed strength,
usable 3 times per day). A kelubar can
alsosummon 1-2 of itsfellows,
with upto 10kelubar being brought by any
one. Success chance is 50%.
Only+2 or better magicweapons will harm a
kelubar. Acid or poison
has no effect on a kelubar, and cold or fire cause
only half normal damage.
Fear is virtually unknown to it, so magic of that
sort is useless. Illusion
magic (illusion and/or phantasm) is useless
against a kelubar. It has
infravision to 120feet and ultravision of standard
sort. Kelubar can summon
others of their breed on the Plane of Tarterus.
Kelubar are humanoid in shape,
being thickest in the lower torso and
limbs. Their hands are very
large and their huge heads are oval, the
latitudinal axis being longest.
Their effective strength is 20, and their
weight is about 490 pounds.
These creatures are the middle class of
Tarterus.
