Ball Monokuma (ボール モノクマ) is a split version of Monokuma that is extremely round. It appears as an enemy to Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.
Appearance
Ball Monokumas are large and, much to the truth of their name, are as round as a ball. They have a large pair of hands and legs, that are able to retract into their large round figures. They don't have proper "bodies", only a giant head with the same face as the original Monokuma.
Gameplay
Ball Monokumas use their spherical bodies to run over anything in their path. They also throw garbage to damage and disorient their enemies.
Ball Monokuma can be exploited by Komaru by having her use a Knockback bullet on it, which sends it rolling backwards. While rolling, the Ball Monokuma may collide with other Monokuma units, destroying them. However, they are impervious to knockback if their arms and legs are extended. This can be remedied by the dance truth bullet, which causes them to retract their arms and legs.
History

Ball Monokuma was one of the many Monokuma units produced by the Towa Corporation that Komaru and Toko Fukawa encounter during the Warriors of Hope's attack on Towa City.
Chapter 2 - Legend of the Revolution
The first Ball Monokuma appears in Chapter 2 at the Towa Towers after Komaru and Toko climb up the stairs on the first floor. A Ball Monokuma rolls down, extending its arms and legs and pouncing on the duo. After defeating it, Ball Monokumas become frequent enemies.

Trivia
- When the Ball Monokuma throws garbage at Komaru, she receives a cup noodle cup on her head. This is a reference to the original Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc where Kyoko Kirigiri received a cup noodle cup on her head after saving Makoto Naegi from the basement.
