Sloth (スロウス, Surōsu), the Indolent, is a large, muscular, dim-witted man who believes everything to be pointless and tiresome. Despite his lazy nature, he is very strong physically and is the fastest of the homunculi. He typically chooses to be indifferent and is extremely reluctant to care about anyone or anything. He is tasked with digging a gigantic transmutation circle beneath Amestris to be used in turning the country into a Philosopher's Stone. Though he is briefly impeded in this job when he runs into the Elric brothers at Briggs' Fortress, he is allowed to continue his work. After finishing the circle, Sloth serves as Father's bodyguard and fights off Mustang and Olivier's troops when they invade Central. He is eventually killed through the combined efforts of the Armstrong siblings and Izumi and Sig Curtis; unlike the other Homunculi, Sloth accepted death with a smile as "living was too much."
