    A Babau's incredible strength and intimidating nature makes it
    possible for it to overpower an enemy, subduing it for a short
    time.  The Babau exerts its will and weakens the body and soul of
    the target, causing them to crumple under the Babau's power and
    remain held to the ground.  During this time, neither the Babau
    nor the victim can move or perform most actions (such as using
    skills, buying items, quaffing potions, eating food, even playing
    harps).  Additionally, during this time all combat ceases - it
    is as if both beings are in a temporary hold spell.
    
    Any combat from outside sources will break the hold over both
    creatures and while the victim cannot move, the Babau can easily
    'stop' the hold at will or simply move from the room which also
    breaks the hold.  If the Babau's skin is coated in its corrosive
    slime, then a slight amount of damage will be taken by the victim
    periodically due to the contact of their skin.
    
    The Babau posses the ability to 'gaze' into a victims eyes, and
    more directly into their soul.  This gazing can only be done to
    an overpowered victim and results in a draining of the victim's
    strength into the Babau.  This strength remains in the Babau
    after the overpowering hold has been broken and will slowly seep
    out of the Babau back into the victim.
    
    A Babau will find it difficult to overpower beings of greater
    size than themselves as well as those with high strength.
