Are there Balrog type entities in D&D?

[PandaSav]

Do you think theres a chance something like it to appear in BG3?

[ᛁᚢᚱᛃᛗᛖ]

I hope so! I hope they try to squish as much content as they can into the game. I mean just the amount of content in act 1 alone is astonishing so I wouldnt be surprised ^-^

[Rez Elwin]

There are creatures called Balor that are based off the Balrog, they are pretty similar. However I doubt they will appear in BG3

[PandaSav]

I was surprised by some of the monsters in underdark, they were pretty cool

[PandaSav]

hope theres something like Moria

Gauntlgrym the dwarven city is basically like Moria. It's even been overrun by various forces in the past from drow to duergar. Though by the time this game takes place it has been reclaimed by Bruenor Battlehammer the current ruler of Gauntlgrym

As far as I know, the Balor is supposed to be the Balrog, the same way the Halfling is supposed to be the Hobbit.

Balor and Halflings are the things that changed after the lawsuit due to copyrights issues with Lord of the Rings, a long time ago.

Balors are CR 19. We might see one in the endgame.

Looks like 5e nerfed them quite a bit.

There's a Spectator you can release in one of the quests, would that count?

sorry i totally misread your post. i didnt realize you were asking if there were creatures like that. I had my wires mixed up lol woops! I always just called the Balor Balrog in D&D bc I liked the name LotR use more.

thats the real question. I feel like there isnt enough Beholders these days. I see them teased a lot in other games and such but I don't think I've actually encountered a Beholder in a game in quite awhile.

They may come later, I mean you really wouldn't wanna face one with a party of 4 people at level 4.

also one out in the wild. But spectators are to beholders as cats are to lions.

Fun 3 way fight though with the Drow
