\\ **True Seeing (Su):** Balors have a continuous true seeing ability, as the spell (caster level 20th).
\\ **Flaming Body (Su):** The body of a balor is wreathed in flame. Anyone grappling a balor takes 6d6 points of fire damage each round.
\\ **Entangle (Ex):** A balor’s //+1 flaming whip// entangles foes much like an attack with a net. The whip has 20 hit points. The whip needs no folding. If it hits, the target and the balor immediately make opposed Strength checks; if the balor wins, it drags the target against its flaming body (see below). The target remains anchored against the balor’s body until its escapes the whip.
\\ **Summon Tanar’ri (Sp):** Once per day a balor can automatically summon 4d10 dretches, 1d4 hezrous, or one nalfeshness, glabrezu, marilith, or balor. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell.
\\ **Death Throes (Ex):** When killed, a balor explodes in a blinding flash of light that deals 100 points of damage to anything within 100 feet (Reflex DC 30 half). This explosion automatically destroys any weapons the balor is holding.
