Barong

Barong is a demon in the series.

History
Barong is the protector of mankind that represents the forces of good in Indonesian lore. It uses its charms and magic to defend villagers against the deathly black magic of the witch Rangda. He is a guardian spirit that is most commonly seen in the form of a lion, although each region within Bali has its own version of Barong, the others being a dragon, boar or a tiger. Barong is animated by the brother spirit Banas Pati Rajah to do battle with Rangda in order to restore the balance between good and evil. However, after Rangda is killed, she is eventually resurrected, and Barong must do battle once again. This eternal battle is depicted in rituals seen in Bali, and in recent times have become an attraction for tourists.

Barong can be encountered as a boss by obtaining an item from giving five pearls to the Rangda Adoring Woman in Souhonzan. Using this item in a plasma that appears by the left bottom teleport in Nakano Stone Site's gold level instance will spawn him. He has a rare chance of dropping the Forest King's Mask, which will allow players to fuse him when turned in to the Barong Believer in Protopia.

Barong can teach Nanashi the Tetrakarn, Ziodyne and Nihil Claw skills through its Demon Whisper. It benefits from learning Physical, Electricity, ailment and support skills.
