:bi:`Death Throes`. When the balor dies, it explodes, and each creature
within 30 feet of it must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 70
(20d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one. The explosion ignites flammable objects in that area
that aren't being worn or carried, and it destroys the balor's weapons.

:bi:`Fire Aura`. At the start of each of the balor's turns, each
creature within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage, and flammable
objects in the aura that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature
that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack while within 5
feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.

:bi:`Magic Resistance`. The balor has advantage on saving throws against
spells and other magical effects.

:bi:`Magic Weapons`. The balor's weapon attacks are magical.
