Balore was a huge highlight among these bosses for me.

[@MilenAnessar]

To trick player that the next boss is giant bat, and then BOOM

[@somacruz7759]

Balore's origins Balore is from Irish mythology. He is the god of death and the king of a race of giants known as the Fomorians, who possessed unusual physical properties. When he was a child, he was observing druids preparing noxious spells one day and the fumes entered his eyes, granting them incredible destructive power. After that, he had to keep his eyes closed because anything he looked at would die instantly. He was eventually killed by his own grandson.

The game where Dracula broke his own chains, defeated the source of his own powers, and regained his humanity and hope.

[@slenderminion2229]

I just noticed after 18 years that the Chaos's core resembles the eclipse shown on the menu, hence why Castlevania was strong enough to unseal itself during it. In a certain way, the final boss is the first thing you see when booting up the game.

Balore and Headhuntress are probably my most favorite bosses in this game. One, since their character and themes are pretty interesting. And two, since it isn't any generic oversized enemy or an already existing boss in the series. And three, just because Balore basically dupes you into thinking you're about to fight another generic bat boss.
