Ball of Swine

the ball of swine

First-floor borough boss made of rolling orcs, the original the Rolling Battle Formation Ball is modeled on.

Story so far

Carl and Princess Donut immediately recognize the Rolling Battle Formation Ball as a riff on the Ball of Swine boss they fought on the first floor. The comparisons are precise: the old one was about three-quarters the size of the new one and was a borough boss, whereas the bigger new version isn't listed as a boss at all — which Carl finds strange. Donut notes the new one is bigger and, thankfully, not filled with creepy Fifty Shades of Grey orcs.

Mechanically both behave identically as splitters: the individuals inside are immune to all damage while in ball form, and once the ball takes enough damage it breaks apart, leaving the contents dazed for a few moments. It is on that precedent that Mordecai and Morales advise Carl how to fight the new one.
