Friendly Ball item
Friendly Ball is an active item in The Binding of Isaac, added in the Afterbirth DLC.
Description
Grants a throwable ball that will instantly capture any non-boss enemy it hits.
The next time the ball is thrown, it will release the previously captured enemy as a permanently charmed enemy that will follow Isaac between rooms and floors, until it dies.
Walking over the ball after it's been used to capture a monster will instantly recharge it and allow immediate release of the monster.
