The '''Bomboulder''' is a monster in the series.
The '''Bomboulder''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.
 
Introduced in {{DQ5}}, it is a reddish variant of a [[Rockbomb]] and is known for casting [[Kerplunk]].


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Usually stronger than [[rockbomb]]s, at least in terms of stamina, bomboulders further differentiate themselves from their equally suicidal brethren by expending their lives to support their comrades instead of doing so in an attempt to wipe out the enemy. They achieve this with their knowledge of the spell [[Kerplunk]], making them bothersome opponents when attempting to dispose of a large group of {{MFamilies}}s.
Bomboulders are reddish animated [[Material family|boulders]] known for casting [[Kerplunk]] to fully revive their fellow monsters. However, they spend just as much time in battle watching and waiting, occasionally stopping to build up their strength or launch themselves at an opponent while cackling. Occasionally, the bomboulder will be more of a magenta colour, such as in ''Dragon Quest VII''. In the Nintendo DS remakes of the [[Zenithia trilogy]], bomboulders are further distinguished from rockbombs by having a full grin instead of gaped teeth. Bomboulders are the second monster in the series capable of casting [[Kerplunk]] to revive other monsters, with [[Beelzebuzz]] from the previous game having the distinction of being the first.
 
In the {{DS}} remakes of the [[Zenithia trilogy]], they are further distinguished from their [[Rockbomb]] cousins by having a full grin instead of gaped teeth.

Bomboulder appeared from the beginning of the game. As always, they are able to cast [[Kerplunk]] and have the ability to land [[Critical Hit|desperate attacks]], but are also just as likely to waste their turn grinning maliciously.
