Anytime a barizou’s opponent is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC, or when a target is flanked by a barizou, the creature deals an extra 2d6 points of damage on a successful hit.

Called assassin demons or infiltrator demons, the barizou are employed as such because their small size allows them to move unseen in many places larger demons cannot go.

The typical barizou stands 3 feet tall and weighs about 60 pounds.
