Balor......the DnD Balrog equivalent demon?
Wotc would like you to know that for legal reasons Balors have no connections to Balrogs owned by the Tolkien estate.
Balors are also a Celtic mythology thing but not really demons.
Gonna get a little nerdy here and say it's not BalorS, it's Balor, Balor of the evil eye who had seven eyelids, each one lifted slowly causing the destructiveness of his eye to begin to permeate until he'd fully opened them all, and yes, he wasn't a demon, he was a fomorian; there's a myth about a lake, the Loch na suil where supposedly Lugh threw the eye of Balor upon killing him that burned a hole into the ground that's said to be where the Fomorians will invade from once again; the lake has a hole in it and it clears out two to three times a century.
