Bandar Log

The Bandar Log are minor antagonists in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. They are a group of monkeys that do not follow the Law of the Jungle, have no leader, and are considered outcasts of the Jungle and they only fear the python Kaa.

In the Book
The Bandar Log only appear in the book Kaa's Hunting. It was revealed that Mowgli had been playing the Bandar Log and was told not to by Bagheera and Baloo. However, shortly afterwards, Mowgli is abducted by the Bandar Log. The Bandar Log then take their prisoner to their hideout, the Cold Lairs. After a long battle with Bagheera and Baloo, they are hypnotized and defeated by Kaa.

Other Appearances

 * They appeared in the 2016 live-action adaptation, where they are shown to be sinister similar to their leader King Louie, as they want to use the power of the "Red Flower" (or fire) so that King Louie will become as powerful as Man.

However, Mowgli escapes and tricks Louie into crumbling down the temple, and the Bandar Log is last seen trying to remove the rubble to save their leader.
