Balor was the one-eyed god of death. He was able to kill anyone that dared to look upon his eye. An oracle said that he would be killed by his grandson. In order to stop this he locked his daughter in a tower. He was later killed by Lugh (grandson) using a sling-shot. This happened during the second battle of Magh Tuireadh.
