Flesh balls are featureless, but still easily killable. A novice swordswarf with a steel short sword will take about 10 seconds to kill a single flesh ball, and kills it by repeatedly tearing and slashing the Ball's body until it bleeds to death, and the dwarf remains completely unharmed. | Flesh balls are featureless, but still easily killable.

The flesh ball sustained bruises but was still alive and attacking the hammerdwarf in vain. After about 40 minutes of pelting, the hammerdwarf got a lucky hit and tore the skin of the ball, which consequently bled out and died. |
A smart dwarf can cage one of these animals, and use it as a beanbag to train novice hammerdwarves extremely safely. Flesh balls are almost completely safe to train with, except for the occasional bruise the ball is able to inflict. | A smart dwarf can cage one of these animals, and use it as a beanbag to train novice hammerdwarves extremely safely.
