The bar-lgura was introduced to the D&D game in the first edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
The bar-lgura was one of the new demons that debuted in the module Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (1982),[1] and then appear in the first edition Monster Manual II (1983),[2] under the demon entry.
In this edition, demons became known as tanar'ri, with the bar-lgura lesser tanar'ri appearing first in the Monstrous Compendium Volume Outer Planes Appendix (1991).[3]
The bar-lgura lesser tanar'ri also appeared for the Planescape campaign setting in the first Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix (1994).[4]
In this edition, the name demon is resumed, and tanar'ri are now considered a sub-type of demon.[5] The bar-lgura (tanar'ri) appears in the Book of Vile Darkness (2002).[6]
The bar-lgura is one of several demons appearing in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss (2006).[7]
The barlgura appears in the Monster Manual for this edition (2008), again under the demon entry.[8]
Bar-lguras are savage and cruel demons resembling fiendish orangutans. They normally reside in isolated and inaccessible areas of The Abyss. Sometimes groups of bar-lgura gather up and form a tribe. They love spreading destruction everywhere, even if they are often employed by powerful demon lords as scouts.
The demon lord Ilsidahur is the patron of the bar-lgura demons.
