The Fleshpound is the most powerful specimen outside of the Bosses and appears in all Killing Floor games. It has spiked gauntlets mounted on its arms that spin and shred whatever they come in contact with.
The most notable mechanic with the Fleshpound is that it will enrage after sustaining a certain amount of damage. When enraged, the light in its chest changes from yellow to red. On Suicidal Difficulty there is a 20% chance for it to spawn already enraged, and a 33% chance on Hell on Earth.
While enraged, they cannot dodge to avoid grenades. Rage will end once it successfully lands a hit on a player, or they are hit with an EMP Grenade. Alternatively, it will calm down after not seeing a player for 30 seconds.
Enraged Fleshpounds can damage other zeds when charging, so they will attempt to get out of its way.
While not enraged, Fleshpounds in Killing Floor 2 possess the ability to block, reducing all damage taken by 10%. Attacks to their gauntlets always deal 80% less damage.
The glowing core on their chest also serves as a weakpoint, taking 10% extra damage from all attacks.
After being decapitated, Fleshpounds take 7 seconds to bleed out, instead of the standard 5.
Killing Floor 2 introduced the Quarter Pound (a weaker variant that can spawn as a pair in place of a standard Fleshpound), and the King Fleshpound (a Boss enemy).
A Fleshpound also serves as the final boss of the Catacombs stage in Killing Floor: Incursion.
Background[]
Horzine created Fleshpounds as the original super soldier commissioned by the British Government envisioned as a Titan on the battlefield and as such regularly inject with muscle growth stimulants, unintentionally causing high rage within the Fleshpound. Due to several incidents with the Fleshpounds, their chest rig was modified to also supply them with suppressants to calm them down. However, when in pain the chest rig would instead flood them with adrenaline and stimulants, sending them into an enraged frenzy.

Trivia[]
- Later versions of the original Killing Floor Mod featured an intro cutscene that showed a Fleshpound being injected and then going berserk and breaking free of its restraints. This is thought to be how the outbreak started, but it is unsure if this is still canon as the cutscene did not appear in the full version of the game and by then it was established that Kevin Clamely was responsible for the outbreak.
- The Fleshpound of the first Killing Floor spoke in a robotic tone (not unlike the Husk) for unknown reasons and occasionally spoke very robotic lines being "LEVEL OF AGGRESION: 11!" or "MERGING PROCESS: COMPLETE!" while normally having a very limited and almost childlike vocabulary.
- The Fleshpound's nickname came from its small vocabulary and its occasional use of the phrase "FLESH...POUND!"
- Artist Andrew Quintiliani, who designed the Killing Floor 2 Summer Sideshow and Halloween skins for the Fleshpound, claims that for the Fleshpound's Summer Sideshow skin he first drew inspiration from Maurice Tillet.
- Quintiliani also dubs the Fleshpound's Halloween skin as the "Fishpound".
