Balhib: Difference between revisions

|firstappear={{DQ5}}

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.

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.

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.

==Etymology==

The word ''balhib'' is a term used by medieval Egyptians to refer to the Great Sphinx of Giza, a statue depicting a sphinx, which is a mythological creature that had the head of a man and the body of a lion.
