| Balor
Celtic
The mighty, but mortal, cyclopean death god possessed the power to paralyze and kill with his single eye. He led the Fomorii, a race of sea gods who terrorized terrestrials with their invasions of the dry earth. In a scene reminiscent of David and Goliath, the Irish hero Lugh slung a stone into the god's eye as he marched at the fore of his army, forcing it back through the cyclops's skull and against his Fomorii soldiers. The Irish host took advantage of the reversal of Balor's ill gaze and routed their enemy, killing Balor, too.
