Mister Ball Legs

Mister Ball Legs is a... well, it's actually a... yeah, okay. I have no idea what the frick it is. Its a weird little creature that appears in the Netflix television series Santa Clarita Diet. Basically, when one becomes a zombie, they initiate the process by way of extreme projectile vomiting. At the conclusion of this, the infected pukes up something looks like a peach pit. This peach pit is actually a creature that is somehow bound to the one who vomited it. It will eventually grow legs, taking on a form similar to that of a spider. On Santa Clarita Diet, there have been two examples of this creature presented. The first was vomited up by Sheila Hammond in the first episode, "So Then a Bat or a Monkey", though it was not revealed to be a living creature until sometime later. Another zombie character, Alondra, had her own version of the creature that she kept in a glass case in her apartment. Alondra later explained that the creature's body is made up of dozens of tiny eyes, which remain closed most of the time.

By the end of the series, Mister Ball Legs crawled into Joel Hammond's ear, seemingly take some form of control over him, and referred to Sheila as "Mama". Joel collapsed at this point, forcing Sheila to bite him in order to save his life. What Mister Ball Legs' interaction with Joel resulted in is unknown. This happened in the season three finale, "The Cult of Sheila". The show was cancelled at this point, so no further explanation as to the nature of Mister Ball Legs' was ever given.
