A flail is a kind of weapon. A samurai will know it as a nunchaku. It does decent damage and is relatively light, but the lack of any artifact flails makes it fairly worthless to invest skill points in. Priests are perhaps the only exception.

Flails and grappling hooks use the flail skill. There are no artifact flails.
Appearance
It is composed of a wooden handle connected by a chain to one or several spiked iron balls. The nunchaku is composed of two wooden handles connected to each other by a chain, so it's a bit of an abuse of terminology to group them as one weapon.
Both evolved from agricultural flails that were used to beat the wheat/rice. Also bigger two handed flails existed.
