Name		Damage	DPS	AP	Damage Type	Value
	Human Fist	8.2	4.1	12%	Blunt	-
	Flesh whip	20.5		60%	Cut	-

Removal

Spawns a fleshbeast when removed - the fleshbeast spawns stunned initially.

Removing the part requires ???? of work, ??x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill skill of ????.

Analysis

The flesh whip has slightly better dps than the elbow blade. With an AP of 60%, it's even better than power claws against armored foes. A baseliner pawn with no modifications will get a significant boost to melee damage with 1 flesh whip, and a smaller but still worthwhile gain with 2. An adult baseliner with 0 skill in melee will have a melee dps of 2.05 with no modifications, a dps of 4.36 with 1 flesh whip, and a dps of 5.13 with 2 flesh whips.

However, it is inferior to power claws in term of damage when used by ghouls, because its Melee AP stat isn't improved by ghoul's high melee damage factor. It makes up for this in terms of move speed though. See Ghoul #Body parts for more details.

The beauty debuff of a flesh whip lowers the pawn's market value by −20%

-The flesh whip has slightly better dps than the [[elbow blade]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, and is free to gain (with good RNG), however it comes with several downsides. It decreases a pawns beauty by 1, and pawns without the Body Modder trait or precept will be upset by having it. It also has a high chance to spawn a fingerspike if removed in any way, but the fingerspike will be initially stunned so it is easy to dispatch.
