Balor
Undocumented threat
Verification status
This creature is described from community gameplay footage, not an official name or bestiary entry. Its name and exact behaviour may differ in-game.
Overview
Balor is a decayed-looking giant figure that advances slowly while whispering. It does not appear on the radar, and other divers often cannot see it when it approaches you. The community rule: turn around, find the source and stare — upon being watched it recedes back into the darkness, and it is recommended to keep staring for a few seconds to be sure it has despawned.

Notes
- Previously listed here under the placeholder name The Watcher.
- Radar-invisible — the whisper behind you is the tell.
Other Saturation Diving entities
- The Crabs — Giant hermit-crab-like defenders — radar name Scuttlergoliaths. P.L.O.P does nothing to them.
- Holes — Cave entrances in the seafloor. Linger at one and an adult Crownspine will end you.
