In the opening scene, a young Hellboy is told a story about a long-forgotten time when the mystical creatures were at war against the humans. The Golden Army was forged and given as a gift to the elf king to use against the humans. But after the battle where all humans were slaughtered, the king decided never to use the indestructible Golden Army again. But the king’s son, Prince Nuada disagreed and went into exile. And now, in present day, Prince Nuada has returned to reclaim the Golden Army and wipe humanity off the face of the earth. Hellboy and his fellow BPRD team members must protect humanity against the ruthless prince.
