Meatball will need roughly 71K DPS, as he will go berserk 60 seconds into the encounter.

Notes and trivia[]

  • Meatball dies at around 300K HP. He seems to explode... due to having eaten a gnome. Bort Fizzwaggle thanks you for freeing him, then observes that he needs a shower. Bort casts Teleport: Bort's Place and disappears.
  • Meatball becomes available as an Order Hall champion after a series of missions ending with N [45] You Beat the Ball of Meat. He is a bodyguard and can accompany the player in the field.
    • While a bodyguard, he does not have a ground mount if the player mounts up and instead just runs on foot (likely because gnolls have no mount animation), but does ride a Ability mount cloudmount [Disc of the Red Flying Cloud] in the air.
  • He has an invisible Follower recruiting spell with the following description: Inv misc head gnoll 01 Follower: Meatball — MEATBALL HUNGRY!!
  • While the quest recruits him directly, Inv inscription scroll kings [Contract: Meatball] was also created during development.

Speculation[]

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

The fact that Meatball can be found chained in Torghast may suggest that he was captured by the Mawsworn in Azeroth, or that he found his way into the Shadowlands through the portal in Icecrown.
