  We investigate non-linear, spherically symmetric solutions to the coupled
system of a quintessence field and Einstein gravity. In the presence of a
scalar potential, we find regular solutions that to an outside observer very
closely resemble Schwarzschild black holes. However, these cosmon lumps have
neither a horizon nor a central singularity. A stability analysis reveals that
our static solutions are dynamically unstable. It remains an open question
whether analogous stable solutions exist.
