Lammasu (Dungeons & Dragons)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, the lammasu are a race of good magical beasts. They are based on lammasu of Mesopotamian mythology, being winged, leonine champions of good. They are also lawful, although they have little interest in the conflict between law and chaos. Their innate magical powers let them cast spells as a 7th-level cleric.

A type of celestial, half-dragon lammasu known as a golden protector is also described in the Monster Manual. They are the offspring of a celestial lammasu and a gold dragon and live in the material plane where they combat evil. Their draconic heritage lets them breathe fire.
