They are powerful and aggressive creatures adapted to life in abyssal jungles. They prefer open spaces but climb trees to find safe places to rest overnight. A typical baboozu is the size of a big wolf.

Males can be 4 to 6 feet long and weigh as much as 200 pounds.

I'm pretty sure that 2-4ft. long and 90lbs. would be considered small (correct me if i'm wrong though because i can't say for sure), you should maybe make it about4 1/2 to 5 1/2ft. long, besides, even if 4ft. long is considered medium, 3 and especially 2 ft long is definitely not. Also, you might want to shed a little bit of light on why they have smite good. Other than that, the race seems really cool, you also might want to give the warrior you presented the actual class and give it weapons and maybe even armor, otherwise, you're saying that they aren't proficient with such gear.

Size changed to 4-6 ft, weight changed to 200 lb.
Smite good reflects the baboozu's fiendish heritage. Evolving and thriving in an evil plane of existence would IMO put its stamp on them.
Added weapons and armor.
