"Melvin ain't so small now!" — Melvin before battle
Melvin Underbelly is a halfling who
was part of the group of heroes that defeated the Second Overlord.
History
He was originally small for a halfling, but after being convinced by the Wizard that after becoming a hero he
could have all the food he wanted, he started eating large amounts of food, causing him to grow taller than a normal halfling and become morbidly obese. He represents the sin of gluttony, and had stolen the Tower Heart to grow pumpkins.
Overlord
He is battled in Melvin's Kitchen. In the beginning he fights exactly like a troll. However, when he gets to half health, he switches tactics to rolling around like a bowling ball. When he is defeated, he pops, splattering fat all over the kitchen.
Overlord: Raising Hell
He is punished by being fed too much food for him to handle and explodes, then to come back for the cycle to repeat again. He is used frequently in the Mellow Hills Abyss by the Overlord to destroy defences and blow up blocked passages. He is ultimately defeated when he rolls at the player, but is dodged and rolls down a hole. Here he must go on a permanent diet of mud and earthworms.
Melvin's Torture.
Personality and Traits
Melvin is the king of the halflings and ruler of Mellow Hills. He seems to like singing, implying he may be a bard, though, as Gnarl says, he has a better taste in food than in music. Melvin wears a gold crown and uses a gold fork to attack the player (both of which can be picked up by Browns after beating Melvin). It is also said that his blubber can be hypnotizing if looked at for too long, as Gnarl points out.
