This isn't entirely correct, flesh balls *can* be killed. I was mucking around in arena mode with a goblin that was "skilled" in axe use, and who had a copper axe.

He was able to slaughter three of the things in short order. And no, these weren't the infinitely weaker "cave blob", these were flesh balls.

Not to say that I wasn't surprised by that development. Flesh balls ARE insanely difficulty to do away with under normal circumstances, and in fort mode you're probably going to have a difficult time with them. However, as evidenced, a good, solid axe can chop 'em up quite nicely.

I got a forgotten beast in the shape of a blob composed of vomit, it simply refused to die, even with tens of dogs attacking together with all my military and half my regular dwarves...

Flesh balls are pretty much killable now as of 31.06, just requires something with teeth or a blade.
