 Balthazar was a bad-tempered demon, long believed dead. The Mayor, Richard Wilkins, had driven Balthazar and his minions, El Eliminati, from Sunnydale one hundred years ago. Balthazar came to Sunnydale searching for an amulet to help him regain his power, aided by his Eliminati soldiers. Balthazar was one of the more memorable demons in Buffy as he was a gigantic blob, sat in a tank of water to stop his skin from dehydrating. Balthazar was electrocuted by Buffy. He warned her about the Mayor before dying. Played by: Christian ClemensonAppeared in: Bad Girls |

It seems to me that the idea for Balthazar’s appearance may have been influenced by Jabba the Hutt, from Star Wars. I watched Bad Girls today and it struck me how similar they look.

I think Doug Petrie says on the commentary for this episode that someone told him that he stole or they stole the idea in Blade with the massive blubbering mess in the first film. He says that he had just made it up.

I think he said that he did steal/borrow the idea, but not from Blade (he hadn’t even seen that film). Daredevil, I believe is what he said (the comics, not the film).
