The spirits and celestials appear in unoccupied spaces within 60 feet of Barong and act as his allies. They remain for 1 minute or until Barong dismisses them as an action.

Reactions

Divine Protection. When a creature makes an attack against Barong or one of his allies within 30 feet, Barong grants the target of the attack a +5 bonus to its AC until the start of his next turn.

Legendary Actions

The barong can take 3 legendary actions choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The barong regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Claw. Barong makes one claw attack.
Enlightening Roar. Each creature he chooses within 30 feet of him can immediately repeat a saving throw to end one condition currently affecting it.
Divine Command (Costs 2 Actions). Barong roars a command at one allied undead or celestial within 30 feet of him. It can move up to its speed and make one attack as a reaction. The creature doesn’t provoke an opportunity attack from this movement. Bats Bats exist in hundreds of species, from the harmless messenger bats of the ghoul empire to the ravening blood-devouring vampire bats found in various castles and deep jungles. The giant albino bat and the giant vampire bat are two monsters that vex adventurers more often than most, and they are often allies of darakhul, werebats, dhampirs, and vampires.
