Just Big Boned, or ???

O.K. I admit this is trivial; but, has anyone ever noticed the weight difference between the Balor and Pit Fiend?

Balor: A balor stands about 12 feet tall. Its skin is usually dark red. It weighs about 4,500 pounds.

Pit Fiend: A pit fiend is 12 feet tall and weighs 800 pounds.

These guys are the same height. The Pit Fiend is stronger and fights with natural weapons and weighs less than a quarter of the weight of a Balor? Seemed weird to me.

Cheers,

Perhaps chaotically aligned flesh is denser and heavier than axiomatically aligned flesh?

Lesson - don't go to the Abyss if you're on a diet!

A 12 ft tall creature that weighed 800lbs would look like a scarecrow.

Maybe a Pit Fiend has hollow bones like a bird?

A large portion of the Pit Fiend's mass is extradimensional (or alternatively on one of the infinite layers of the Abyss called the Infinite Level of Liposuction)

or

Pit Fiends have gaseous sacks that provide a significant amount of boyancy...a "pep in their step" if you will....
