A (fortunately) seldom encountered demon-like being of uncertain origin. Unlike demonic avatars, Balrogs appear fully physically manifested on Alusia.

Some sources claim the creatures are examples of fallen semi-divine beings from earlier ages of the world while another purported creator of these dire beings is [[Baal]], the first of the [[Ancient Dragons|ancient dragons]] and perhaps the first Alusian [[Powers of Darkness|power of darkness]]. According to certain ancient sources Baal created the ''Baal-rukhs'' (or ''Birds of Baal'') as part of his plan to throw down the mortal realms.

The presence of Balrogs in proximity to two of the imprisoned sons of Baal, Ahriman and Istu may add credence to this claim.
