Balor

Face-up artist(s):

Sour_Dotz

Date of acquisition:

January 23, 2020

Provenance:

Purchased through Stacy's Pink Ocean, body purchased secondhand here on DOA marketplace

Reason for choice:

rounded nose, little fangs, fuzzy ears- it's like he was tailored to my weaknesses

Best Points:

I love his face so much! he's very unique

Worst Points:

his head's kind of heavy, and the body is single-jointed

Hybrid Notes: in some circumstances the head looks a little big on the body, and the neck hole is way too small for the neck. The resin is a shockingly good match for an old white body and a newer normal head.

Balor is a very old creature of faerie, a dangerous entity with the power to kill with just a glance from his cursed right eye. He's spent most of the ages of the world as ruler of a hidden kingdom beneath the earth. His people have something of a dark reputation, and even other fae steer clear of them, which is probably just as well. After being driven underground by more powerful beings, they aren't exactly fond of surface-dwellers. As it stands, they're viewed as almost a sort of boogeyman, a myth that Balor is quite content with. In recent years, he's grown a little bit curious about how the above-ground has progressed, and has started making occasional trips outside.
