The baltiri are native to the planes of
Olympus and Gladsheim. On the material
plane, they may be hard to recognize, since
they can assume different forms. A baltir
can polymorph itself into a human or demi-
human child, as the telperi and glissi do. It
can also take the form of a cat, an otter, or a
miniature lion (AC 5, MV 12”, D/Att 1/1/
1-2 and rear claws l/l).

In addition to the powers that all galadur
have, the baltir has two unique abilities.
First, once per day it can make all others
within 2” fall into a drunken stupor, unless
they save vs. spell. The results of this power
are listed under “greatly intoxicated” in the
table on page 82 of the DMG. If anyone is even slightly drunk
before the baltir uses its power, he or she
becomes comatose after the baltir does so.
Only a neutralize poison spell can remove
the effects of the baltir’s power; otherwise,
the victim must recover as described in the
DMG.

The baltir’s second unique power is spe-
cial resistance against magical control,
including all charm-type spells — com-
mand, hypnotism, suggestion, and the like.
All baltiri love freedom and happiness,
and they fight for the right of others to
enjoy these things. Baltiri from Gladsheim
choose chaos over good if they must make a
choice.

In size, baltiri don’t quite measure up;
they’re shorter than the rest of the galadur
in their unpolymorphed state. Still, they are
broad of build and look like handsome,
muscular humans with somewhat flat faces
and tufted pointy ears. A short, glittering,
fiery red fur covers their entire body. They
have broad wings and glistening lionlike
manes that match the color of their fur.
Baltiri have broad smiles and green or
brown almond-shaped eyes.
