Meat-a-Roid

The Meat-a-Roid is an enormous ball made of large, mutated food made by the FLDSMDFR. The excess food accumulated gradually over the month of the machine's operation to form a protective shell guarded by sentient food and a thick pea-soup fog.
==History==
The Meat-a-Roid first began as specks of excess food that accumulated around the machine which were unable to be cleaned off or maintained. As the food mutated, so did this smorgasbord of a shell. The FLDSMDFR repurposed the food waste into a protective layer. Some of the mutated food acts as antibodies for the Meat-a-Roid, such as flurries of pizzas, Man-Eating Chickens, and Gummy Bears. 
Its design allowed the FLDSMDFR to operate as designed, but on a much larger scale, with an intake hole at the top to absorb water from the clouds, and a hole at the bottom to release the food.
==Notable Locations==
===Crust ===
The Crust is a precarious area with a narrow cheese walkway, guarded by vicious mutated food creatures. At the top is a large intake that gathers water from the clouds and funnels it to the FLDSMDFR. The exterior of the Meat-a-roid is dotted with blowholes, which act as exhaust vents and alternate exits. 
The tunnels within contain hordes of Man-Eating Chickens along with precarious pools of fry oil dotted with chicken nuggets and potato fries. At the end of one such tunnel lies a pit lined with shards of peanut brittle.

===Subterrain and Mantle===
In the film, the pit of peanut brittle leads directly to the Core. However, in the video game, there are two areas between the Crust and the Core.
In the Subterrain, large piles of food block the path forward. Flint must traverse across a river of alphabet soup using saltine crackers and chicken nuggets, then narrowly avoid falling hot dogs and chili as he avoids Spaghetti Twisters.
In the Mantle, Flint needs to duck into crevices along a slick path to avoid a giant rolling meatball, then jump across floating toast and slabs of meat to avoid pools of thick pea soup. At the end of the mantle is a hole, which Flint leaps down to reach the Core.
===Core===
The Core is the central area where the FLDSMDFR resides. Water from the Intake is sucked through a gelatin sac into the top of the FLDSMDFR, where it is processed by the machine and released into a large, fleshy gorge below. The Core is a cavern of excess food, including hot dogs, olives, shrimp, and nachos.

==Trivia== 
*The interior of the Meat-a-roid is lit with blue-green light to make the food look as unappetizing as possible.
*Bananas and pickles line the "throat" of the Meat-a-Roid and act as cilia.
