And if it is huge, it's probably in ATG :)

| Uh, lol, they ain't makin the gargantuan gruumsh orcus due to costs... figure they'd like to have a really big demonic badguy, so a huge balor would fit that role decently. | |

| Orcus was the garg the are delaying (canceling?).
I wouldn't mind a huge demon/devil. Is there size advancement for Pit Fiends currently in 3.5? | |

| While I find the idea of a huge Balor fine, the reality of a huge Balor bumping a huge Nalfeshnee from the AtG list would be disappointing. Unless WotC is switching huge sets to yearly instead of every 2 years, I prefer to see less huge creatures rather than more in the Monster Manuals. | |

| I'd be disappointed (but not overly suprised) if the Balor was made into a huge mini. Huge minis are already pretty hard to get a hold of as it is. And there are still several huge minis that we are waiting for (and some we will never get) without WotC making more creatures huge sized.
Hydra
Huge Green Dragon
Huge Blue Dragon
Huge White Dragon
Huge Black Dragon (without a rider)
Aboleth
Nalfeshnee
And I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

| | It is not a strange thing that the new balor will be huge,since these critters can change their size at will (so why not huge?) like the moria balrog.I think we do not need a huge balor (nor orcus) but I sincerelly prefer it better than another one new huge red dragon (men I have tons of reds). | |

| Well, the Balor we got in Underdark was already a huge mini on a large base, so I guess it makes sense...

| Huge Balor just makes sense. The Balrog towers over Gandalf and since Gygax ripped the Balor straight from Tolkein's Balrog (even used to be called Balrog until the lawsuit threats hit) it should match the size.
I can always use my Large Balor as an alternate Pit Fiend  | |

Anyone else notice there's a lot of Orcus stuff in 4E? Makes me wonder if they might revive that Garg. Orcus after all...

| Remember, these sets are planned at least a year in advance. Maybe they were thinking of minions to go with the Orcus fig BEFORE it got cancelled. Â | | | |

Confirming this. The Pit Fiend remains Large, though, and is now slightly weaker.
Also, the Nalfeshnee is not in the Monster Manual for 4th edition.
