The Prologue Ball is a large, spiky ball-shaped floating Nuemera with two ribbons trailing behind it. It does not currently have a canon name due to appearing only during the prologue, where the UI is not yet enabled. Several Prologue Balls appear as basic enemies throughout the prologue. An Enraged Prologue Ball appears near the end of the prologue as a more powerful encounter, and several more Enraged versions appear in the final cutscene defending the Nest.

Combat
The Prologue Ball has one standard attack: it charges forward, damaging Dahmon on contact. It cannot be broken and has high HP, but is quickly dispatched by Dahmon's powerful prologue attacks.
Enraged
The Enraged Prologue Ball can be broken, unlike the basic version.
It begins combat by firing a large laser, which sweeps back and forth across Dahmon's position and cannot be dodged, only shielded.
It can also use the same dashing charge as the basic Prologue Ball, although it chains two of these in a row, jumping to a new position between dashes.
Shortly into the fight, it jumps into the air, slams down at the center of the arena, and attempts to charge a special attack called Vermillion Scream. Eshrin weaves the attack before it succeeds, allowing Dahmon to break it. The charging progress for Vermillion Scream eventually stops increasing, meaning the attack can never actually go off; the battle can only progress by Dahmon breaking the Enraged Prologue Ball.
Once broken, it falls to the ground, takes increased damage, and is easily dispatched. If allowed to recover, it alternates between its three attacks, with Eshrin continuing to weave and cancel Vermillion Scream each time.
Note: as the UI is not enabled during the prologue, the level/HP/EXP values shown above are not visible in-game and may be placeholders.
