The '''Balhib''' is a ~~recurring {{MFamilies}}~~ in the ~~{{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{Dragon Quest V}}, it is a winged, centaur-like monster armed with an axe and brilliant, golden skin~~.

The '''Balhib''' is a monster in the series.

==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 5}}. 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 postgame, they are brainwashed by the [[Calasmos|Dark One]] after his revival, but otherwise act the same as in the main game.
