- A large ball of skin found moving around the debris near underground ponds. It is there that it absorbs dead matter for food.
The flesh ball is an amphibious creature, made entirely out of muscle and blood, that is quite slow on the ground. In fortress mode, they appear in clusters of 2–5 in the third layer of the caverns. Given its size (and the density of its flesh), the ball's diameter is about half a metre. When butchered, it produces no organs and only meat, but is edible. Some dwarves may enjoy flesh balls for their calming roundness or warmth.
Flesh balls are featureless. As simple balls of muscle, they do not need to breathe or sleep, have no thought, cannot vomit, become dizzy, or be stunned, but are still easily killable anyway.
Even though they are simple, flesh balls can live up to age 200, much older than even dwarves.
Flesh balls are not available in the object testing arena by default, since they possess the [ARENA_RESTRICTED] token.
