Baaz

Baaz (Japanese: バージ Romaji: bāji) is a character from the Slayers novel The Ghost Of Sairaag.

He is a chimera of human and spider, whose body resembles a giant spider but with a human head and flesh. As other chimeras, he can be hurt by physical magic or attacks. He fights primarily using knife-like claws on each of his eight legs.

Baaz served Copy Rezo. Along with Erisiel Vrumugun, Rahanimu, and Vizea, he attempts to ambush Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, and Lantz in the Miasma Forest. However, Baaz does not know the truth about Vrumugun, and unknowingly attempts to devour her real body during the fight, a distraction that costs the attackers dearly. Baaz is ultimately incapacitated by Sylphiel's Lafas Seed spell and killed by a Mono Volt from Lina.
