Balverines return in Fable II, and are first encountered on the road to
Westcliff. They have their own dungeon, called the
Howling Halls, that the player must get through to get to the Westcliff Camp. Also, they are fought in the arena known as
The Crucible. During the
Hero of Skill quest, while returning the Shadow Seal to its owner, you must fight several Shadows that act and fight like Balverines.
While traveling along the Westcliff Road, a woman named
Lilith requests your help saving her son from Balverines. However, she betrays you to her "children" for food before jumping out of sight. This indicates the ability to shape-shift and greater intelligence for the more advanced Balverines, She reappears later after the Hero defeats all her "Children" as a White Balverine.
