Ed's Notes: In spite of what you see in the picture above (chosen because Tony DiTerlizzi's art for both the Spinagon and the Abishai was uncharacteristically lacking) Abishai do not typically use weapons. They tend to fill the slightly lower ranks of soldiers, just below the Barbazu in rank. Oh, yeah, and their tail attacks can be an instant kill, so... watch that!
