What the heck is Balrog?

Balrog is just Balrog! I have totally given up about him, and I think Pixel intends it to be a Great Mystery.
Or he's just a weird-shaped robot.

 

He looks like a bento box, the orange stripes on his eyes are like rubber bands.

 

He's a gigantic cube of meat. Simple as that.

 

For me, Balrog is a Robot bar of soap with bat wings, who says Huzzah!

 

Maybe, balrog is ballos's son, but he died, so they put his soul in a robot.

I have been watching full metal alchemist, and im out of ideas as to what balrog is.

 

I always thought that he was a toaster.

 

Yep, that's what the majority of people think. But Pixel's original design for Balrog was based on soap, like a lighter version of Puu Black. That little color change from pale bluish to gray can make a lot of difference.
Anyways, welcome to the forums!

 

Misery's Punching Bag!

 

What bother's me from saying he's a toaster is the wings he's got, how does this add up to a freaking toaster!?

 

Last I checked, soap bars didn't have wings either.

 

If it weren't for the wings, I would have considered him a soap bar or toaster; but add those wings, and all ideas are thrown out the window.

 

I think that he's a toaster, basicly he was once a normal toaster, but then misery awakened him to life...
Maybe that may be the reason she's so bossy at balrog?

 

one thing I did notice that was "odd" in the game was red flowers in Arthur's house... do you think before he died he ate the flowers in a last-ditch effort to thwart the Doctor? Or was he the one turned into Igor, perhaps? Something else?

As was said, he thwarted off the doctor and sealed the red demon. That took his life.

 

He is a magical bar of soap who grew wings after a malfunction at Mr. Burns's nuclear power plant.

 

every time I see this thread come up only one thing comes to mind

The answer is 84

 

I swear Pixel confirmed he's a bar of soap.
I mean hell, he shoots out soap bubbles.

 

*sigh* Pixel confirmed that Balrog's design was based on a bar of soap, not that he was one. Well technically Puus were designed after a bar of soap in the CS beta and the final boss in the beta was a giant Puu (looked like a light grey version of Pooh Black), and the Balrog we know and love was based on that.

However I believe Balrog to be a robot or a cyborg. He just looks mechanical to me. Plus when did soap ever shoot missiles?

Wait, my soap's NOT supposed to blow my limbs off with missiles whenever I use it?

And to be honest, I think he's some kind of high-ranking pooh, seeing how they're technically a species what with their being multiple seen ingame. Either that, or most were wiped out.

Hell, for all we know pooh black could be a reanimated member of balrog's species, similar to however zombie dragons worked.

 

I think is a robot, just like Quote and Curly.
