Red Balloon

"'The Balloons are our enemies. We can show them no mercy, however weak or helpless they seem.' -The Scholar"The Red Balloon is the first enemy encountered in Balloons Monkey RPG 1. It is very easy to defeat, however it drops an accordingly low amount of experience and loot. They first appear a few metres away from your house, in fact, you save the Mayor from one of them right at the beginning of the game. They are the main bulk of the skirmish on Alano and are very easy to defeat, despite the player having no weapons when first encountering them. They are killed in one hit by a dart, so only become easier once you reach the armoury. By this point, they're probably not even getting one hit on the player.

Story
According to a book found in the Scholar's house in Alano, the Red Balloon is the basis of all Balloons. It states that every other form of Balloon was created by adding more and more layers onto Red Balloons, continuously making them more and more powerful.
