Balzack/Baalzack



Balzack is a villain and boss from Dragon Quest IV, serving as the central antagonist in the fourth chapter.

Balzack was one of the two disciples of the famous alchemist Mahabala. When his master discovered the Secret of Evolution, Balzack killed him and stole the formula, which he then gave to Psaro the Manslayer. Meena and maya, the two daughters of Mahabala, start searching for Balzack in order to get revenge, eventually getting the help of Oojam, the other disciple of Mahabala. They finally discover Balzack is hiding on Palais de Léon where they confront and defeat him. However they are interrupted by the Marquis de Léon, who sends Balzack somewhere else and confronts the group, which is easily defeated and locked in jail. The two sisters escape and flee to Endor, in order to meet with the Legendary Hero.

Balzack is found again during the fifth chapter, having invaded the castle of Zamoksva and turned into a more monstrous form, calling himself Baalzack and believing he's become more powerful than even Psaro. Upon being defeated, some monsters appear and call him a failed experiment.
