For being somewhat common enemies, Belunkas are quite big and strong, although they rarely attack directly. Instead, they are able to spawn a variety of other monsters from a dark mist within their mouth. Otherwise, a Belunka will simply watch over the battle until Pit defeats the enemies it unleashes, causing the beast to spawn more until it is destroyed itself. It also has some of the most health of any enemy, thus making its defeat all the more challenging, especially when flying. In terms of appearance, Belunkas have all of the features a typical whale would have, although its fins are large enough to serve as wings. It also wears a crown-like structure on its head, likely as a regal symbol of its high rank in the Underworld army. | For being somewhat common enemies, Belunkas are quite big and strong, although they rarely attack directly.
