The Happy Fun Ball of Death

This device first appears in | the comic for 20 July, 2009, as Agatha, Gil, Tiktoffen and Zola attempt to make their way to Agatha's lab/surgery. A large metal ball covered in protruding metal spikes rolls toward them, entirely filling the corridor. Tiktoffen's comment''Huh. I wondered where that went on Tuesdays'' suggests that it rolls around various areas of the castle as a mobile death trap. Nevertheless both Gil and Agatha | succeed in escaping it (while saving their companions). Afterwards | we see a sign with a mechanical timer counting down to the balls next appearance (It's regularity probably explains why Tiktoffen was not particularly afraid of it). The signboard states that the "HAPPY FUN BALL of DEATH" will return in 6 days 23 hrs and 4[9] minutes (the last digit is obscured). The naming scheme is reminiscent of other of the castles contents: Fun-Sized_Mobile_Agony_and_Death_Dispensers.
