And he attacks Quote because...
Some mute with a gun barges into your place and starts rummaging through your stuff.
What do you do?

Then again, why does almost everything else on the Island attack Quote....

1) Quote is not a mute.
2) Everything on the island is obviously either carnivorous or racist towards robots.

1) He acted like it, there. Didn't even knock.
2) Most likely the latter.

2) Probably because they went and killed everything about 10 years ago.

perhaps he was killed by a robot while in the labyrinth?

Entirely possible. Also a good explanation.

And the only robot from the surface other than Curly and Quote is beaten up severly, and the last troop of team 9. maybe it was that team?

The blue robots are from the surface, too. But we have no way to guess which team it was. More than team 9 could have made it to the Labyrinth.

perfectly true, but it seems ONLY team nine is in the core, meaning they were successful in finishing the labyrinth...

they were also most likely a specially made team, made specifically for killing the core.

Well, that settles the question of who Balrog is.

It doesn't settle it. That's my point. We've moved on from "Who is Balrog?" to "Who is Pooh Black?", and I think your killed-by-robots theory is pretty good. Since Pooh Black ends up working in a hospital, I think he's a nice guy after all, he just hates robots.

True, I still think they have a connection as well...the markings are quite similar...

New theory: Pooh Black is not a unique creature. The island used to be inhabited by them, Cave Story beta style, but they posed a threat to the robots for some reason, and they were eliminated. Balrog was on the island for a very long time before the robot invasion, so his build was based on the Poohs (which is what I call them now).
Balrog is a robot, in case you didn't know.

Probably an accident. I can't see anyone enslaving Balrog on purpose. Unless he was one of the Crown Wearer's pets or something similar.

Heh heh, Misery got tired of being the only punching bag, so she made a wearer of the crown enslave Balrog as well.

As an interesting thought, balrog and misery may be brother and sister, the way jenka talks about them, but that's for another thread...

Jenka definitely knows Balrog well, judging by the way she talks to him, but I don't think he's her son, because that would seem impossible. I also think that BALROG IS A ROBOT.

Yea, he seems to be like a robot, with his weight and strength and shape, sorta.

But the pooh black thing makes me wonder. Robots don't have souls, and pooh black looks so much like him, the eyes, the stubby hands, the marks on the body, even the same entrance. (dropping in from the ceiling).

Just makes me wonder...

No, Pooh Black isn't shaped after Balrog, Balrog is shaped after Pooh Black. It's like if Pooh was a dog* and Balrog was a robot dog.
