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. | |||
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 [[Luminaries|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 disobeying his and Hargon's commands to recruit the [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]], but often refrains from directly insulting his opponents. | |||
Belial regards himself as superior to his fellow Champions, 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. | |||
