'''Belial''' is a boss from ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' and a recurring common monster in the later games. It is a more powerful version of an archdemon and the last in a trio of bosses players must face as they climb [[Hargon's Castle|Hargon's tower]].
'''Belial''' is a major antagonist from {{Dragon Quest II}} and recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.
===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
 
He is a more powerful version of the [[archdemon]] and is one of the [[Deities of Destruction]]―a trio of bosses summoned by [[Hargon]] that the [[Scions of Erdrick]] must face as they climb [[Hall of Hargon|the cultist's tower]]. Later games would use the monster as a species instead of a specific individual, similar to his fellow deity [[Pazuzu]].  
 
==Characteristics==
Belial is a large yellow demon carrying a purple pitchfork. He has a large snout and blue wings, the latter of which he uses to fly. Despite his brutish appearance Belial is a master conjurer in all of his appearances and favors the [[Kaboom]] spell in particular.
 
In the HD-2D Remake of ''II'', Belial is a battle-hungry demon who enjoys receiving punishment as much as he does giving it. He views the [[Scions of Erdrick]] as worthy opponents to him, and once they best him, he acknowledges their efforts and hopes for them to get stronger so that he can have a better battle with them. However, Belial's respect towards both them and [[Dream-Whisperer]] is a way of establishing his ego and might as well as his lust for battle over them. He wastes no time killing a [[midnight manguini]] and a [[goyling]] for botching his and Hargon's orders to recruit the [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]], but often refrains from directly insulting his opponents.
 
Belial regards himself as the superior of Hargon's Champions―[[Atlas]], [[Mariella]], & [[Pazuzu]], and generally has no qualms snitching them out, particularly Mariella whom he dislikes for her chaotic and arrogant nature. He tells the Scions of Erdrick of her invasion of the mermaid realm and even warns them about her unscrupulous nature. This willingness to betray the operations of his fellow Champions is born from how much Belial loathes Hargon for summoning him into [[Alefgard]] and binding him to his will as his slave.
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
Belial had no characterization or personality in the original version of the game, simply being the final mini-boss fought in the Hall of Hargon before the player reaches the mad priest himself.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
 
==={{DQ2HD}}===
Belial's role in the [[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|HD-2D Remake]] of his debut is expanded upon, making him a major antagonist. He is one of Hargon's Champions along with [[Atlas]], [[Mariella]], & [[Pazuzu]], and personally lead the siege on Castle [[Moonbrooke]]. He invades the [[Faerie Palace]] and tries to kill [[Dream-Whisperer]], but he is repelled and teleports away, vowing that his next battle with the Scions of Erdrick would be more worthy.
 
In addition to destroying potential threats to Hargon's operation, Belial is also tasked with travelling Alefgard in disguise to obtain crucial information. He accomplishes this by transforming into a near-perfect copy of the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] and using the [[Mark of Moonbrooke]] he claimed from the siege to prove his false identity. He is so confident in his disguise that he attempts to infiltrate the quartet of heroes after splitting the group up in the [[Passage to Rendarak]] and turn the group against the real princess, but his lie is exposed thanks to [[Princess Pledge|Princess Gwaelin's necklace]] only resonating with those who carry the blood of [[Erdrick]]. The second battle with the yellow bastard begins, and afterwards he explains the nature of his being in Alefgard: he, Atlas, and Pazuzu were worshiped as cruel deities in their home dimensions before being summoned forth by Hargon after he sacrificed the lives of countless wicked humans. This act of summoning bound the three to Hargon's will, and they can never act against him no return to their own realms so long as he lives. Belial then tries to convince the Scions of Erdrick into slaying Hargon for him, thinking nothing of the hell he has personally put the Princess of Moonbrooke through.
 
The final encounter with Belial is at the penultimate level of the Hall of Hargon in the frozen wastes of [[Rendarak]]. He first tries to confuse the group by taking the form of Mariella, but quickly engages in combat. His death avenges the fallen people of Moonbrooke.
