prop_combine_ball demo.
Not to be confused with prop_energy_ball.
prop_combine_ball is a model entity available in 
Half-Life 2 series and 
Portal series. It is a high-energy ball that disintegrates any organic material in its path. It is primarily found in the Citadel as an energy source, and weaponized by elite Combine soldiers.
See point_combine_ball_launcher for an entity that spawns these.
A prop that physically simulates as a single rigid body. It can be constrained to other physics objects using hinges or other constraints. It can also be configured to break when it takes enough damage.
