Description

The baku or "Eaters of Dreams", are strange but kind celestial beings who drive away evil spirits that are the cause of terrible nightmares.

The baku has one of the most bizarre appearances of any spirit creature, looking like a mixture of parts from all manner of animals. A baku stands upon the hind legs of a tiger, which supports a large horse-like body covered in golden and brown striped fur with a cow's tail. A baku arms are like those of apes but end in purple-colored, sharp talons. The head of a baku is like that of a thick-maned lion, but it had human-like eyes and an elephantine trunk and tusks. They stand about 8 feet (240 centimeters) tall.

The main purpose of baku is to drive away evil spirits who tormented humans. Humans sometimes directly request such aid when suffering from nightmares by laying out a gift of flowers on the window sill or praying during the full moon. Other times, a baku was sent by the Lord of Dreams.

When a baku arrives on the Material Plane to protect a dreamer, it comes in through an open window at night and enters the bedroom of the sleeper. From the head of the bed, it enters the sleeper's dreams and fight off any evil spirits. At first light, the baku departs.

Baku enjoy such recreational activities as dancing and gardening. They love to laugh, and it is hard for them to converse without doing so. The sound is like that of a cawing crow.
