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


==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 {{MFamilies}}s, 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.

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