Demon Balor

devil, fire, hell, Demon Balor

A dark aura of power surrounds this towering humanoid with huge bat wings. Lurid flames dance over its skin. In one of its massive clawed hands, this creature bears a sword that looks sharp enough to cut even to the soul. In its other hand, it bears a whip licked by tongues of fire.


Balors stand among the greatest and most terrible of the underworld creatures. They rule as generals over demonic armies. They are the masterminds of schemes to seize power and destroy the innocent. Even among their own kind, balors are feared, as they motivate their kindred to spread terror and misery.

They stand about 12 feet tall. Its skin is usually dark red. It weighs about 4,500 pounds.

Treasure Standard coins; double goods; standard items, plus +1 vorpal greatsword and +1 flaming Whip
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Death Throes (Ex): When killed, it explodes in a blinding flash of light that deals 5 points of damage per HD (100 points for an average balor) to anything within 5 feet per HD (100 feet for an average balor) (Reflex DC 30 half). A balor’s death throes appear different depending on whether the death involved is permanent or temporary, and each balor’s death throes are individually distinctive although this has no mechanical effect. This explosion automatically destroys any weapons the balor is holding. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Disease (Su): A target gored must make a Fort save DC 30 or else catch demon fever. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Entangle (Ex): A balor’s +1 flaming Whip entangles foes much like an attack with a net. The Whip has 20 hit points and needs no folding. If it hits, the target and the balor immediately make opposed Strength checks; if the balor wins, it drags the target against its flaming body (see below). The target remains anchored against the balor’s body until it escapes the Whip.

Flaming Body (Su): It’s body is wreathed in flame. Anyone grappling a balor takes 6d6 points of fire damage each round. This flame never deals damage to the balor, even those who are not immune to fire.

Innate Weaponry (Su): It can reform or recall its weapons to its hand as a free action. If the balor and the weapons are separated across planar boundaries, the weapons fade.

Skills: They have a +8 racial bonus on Perception checks.

Summon Demons (Sp): Once per day a balor can automatically summon 4d10 dretches, 1d4 hezrous, or one nalfeshnee, glabrezu, marilith, or balor. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell.

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (the Planes) can learn more about balors. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from the lower DCs.

Knowledge (the Planes)

15This huge, winged humanoid is a balor, a demon that serves as a general in Abyssal armies. This result reveals all outsider and tanar’ri traits.
20They are scheming masterminds, often plotting to overthrow and dominate others, even amongst their own kin. They also delight in destroying the innocent.
25It’s body is wreathed in intense flames, damaging those who attempt to grapple with it; in combat, it often uses its Whip to entangle foes and drag them straight into the flame.
30When slain, its body explodes in a brilliant flash of light that destroys everything in a 100-foot radius, including the balor’s own weapons: a +1 vorpal longsword and a +1 flaming Whip.
