ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Balor

Okay kiddo, so you know how you have different emotions and feelings inside you like happiness, sadness, and anger? Well, there's a creature in Irish mythology called a Balor, and it's like a giant monster that also has different kinds of power inside it.

Now, what makes the Balor extra special (or scary, depending on how you look at it) is that it has one giant eye in the middle of its forehead. When it opens that eye, it can shoot out a destructive beam that can destroy everything in its path. It's like when you use a laser pointer to play with your cat, except it's a lot more powerful and could cause something really bad to happen.

People in the mythology used to be really afraid of the Balor because it was said that if it ever opened its eye, it would cause destruction and chaos. That's why warriors were always prepared to fight against the Balor in case it ever showed up.

So in short, a Balor is like a giant monster that has special powers, including a really strong laser-like beam that can cause destruction.
