==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Balhibs are absurd parodies of the classic centaur, having a reptilian lower half that terminates in a long tail and a back covered by two bat wings. Their upper body is that of a muscular older man with a tall pair of horns, a wild mane of long purple hair, and a bushy mustache and eyebrows. They are usually portrayed as powerful monsters, having many strengths granted to them. As indicated by their original names, they are apparently [[Material family|made of gold]] and will drop a very large sum when defeated.
Balhibs are winged, centaur-like monsters with golden skin and a reptilian lower half that terminates in a long tail, wielding a battle axe in both hands. Their upper body is that of a muscular older man with a tall pair of horns, a wild mane of long purple hair, and a bushy mustache and eyebrows. As indicated by their original names, they are [[Material family|made of gold]] and will drop a very large sum when defeated. In some games, they are considered demons.

Introduced as a monster found around the end of the game in places such as Talon Tower and Nadiria. They have a large amount of HP, can deliver strong physical attacks, and cast Kaswoosh on the player's party. The amount of gold they drop is usually worth the risk of fighting them, though.

Appearing as a normal enemy properly in the main series for the first time since ''V'', they are encountered near the end of the main game and can be summoned by [[Jasper]] in his Unbound form as a mockery of his [[Hendrik|former friend]]. Later in the post game, they are brainwashed by the [[Calasmos|Dark One]] after his revival, but otherwise act the same as in the main game.
