The Balhib is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

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 made of gold and will drop a very large sum when defeated. In some games, they are considered demons.
