Forshers are the representatives of man's lighter nature. A forsher's major objective is to find and step onto the zonenstrall. A forsher will also score a minor objective if it kills its opponent.

A meatling's body armor is vulnerable to damage at the joints. A meatling can damage another meatling by bringing its axe in contact with the other meatling's joint. Damage shows as spots of blood on the affected joints; the greater the damage the larger the spot of blood. When a joint has taken enough damage, it will be severed. Players lose points for each hit they take, and for each severed limb they receive. A meatling kills another meatling when it causes that meatling to take 17 hits of damage. A meatling may also kill another meatling by decapitating it.

A round is over when either a major or minor objective is scored. At the end of each round, a score card is displayed, and the meatlings are transported to the next island. At the end of the fifth round, the player with the higher score is promoted 1 rank, plus 1 rank for each 5000 points of the difference between the two scores.
