In the original GWAR lineup in 1985, Jaws Of Death and BalSac were two different characters. Jaws of Death (played by Death Piggy guitarist Steve Douglas) wore a crude version of the familiar trap jaw the current BalSac the Jaws of Death wears, while BalSac (Chris Bopst) played bass and wore a simple open-face piece of spiked headgear. After a few lineup changes, Douglas would return to the band as Balsac the Jaws of Death for the recording of GWAR's first album Hell-O, only to be replaced by Michael Derks shortly after.
