Balam is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Balam is described in the Ars Goetia section of The Lesser Key of Solomon as a great and powerful king of Hell who commands forty legions of demons. He is said to give accurate answers concerning the past, present, and future, and to grant invisibility and wit. Balam is depicted as three-headed, with the heads of a bull, a man, and a ram, as well as flaming eyes and the tail of a serpent. He carries a hawk on his fist and rides a bear, though he is sometimes portrayed as a naked man riding the bear. His name is likely derived from the biblical figure Balaam.

Design

Balan^[sic] in the Dictionnaire Infernal

In Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II, Balam is a recolor of Asmoday.

Balam's Shin Megami Tensei if... design is based on the illustration of Balam (spelled as Balan in the book) by Louis Le Breton in Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal. The design has been modified to have three heads (a bull's, a man's, and a ram's) like the description in the Ars Goetia.
