The ''' | The '''rockbomb''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}. It is a craggy boulder with a trademark smile and penchant for exploding, occasionally killing everyone in the party. | ||
== | ==Characteristics== | ||
Monsters made of living stone, this characteristic makes rockbombs part of the [[Material family]]. It is a bluish, sometimes gray, boulder with a maniacal face on it, its teeth particularly gaped. Despite looking like plain boulders, rockbombs are actually immense geodes with red cores. | |||
Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or otherwise waste their turn, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, the boulders are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of self-destructing without any warning, usually in the form of the devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell. | Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or otherwise waste their turn, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, the boulders are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of self-destructing without any warning, usually in the form of the devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell. Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting Kamikazee. This can prove more difficult in some titles over others, as some games give the bombs an ''enormous'' HP stat compared to other monsters in the area. | ||

While still occasionally mentioned as being monsters, rockbombs are treated as items throughout the game, often found sleeping on patches of dirt. Getting knocked into the air will angrily stir a rockbomb from its rest, and it will detonate the moment it hits the ground. They can be used as ammo in tank battles, but are mainly used to damage enemies and clear obstructions. | While still occasionally mentioned as being monsters, rockbombs are treated as items throughout the game, often found sleeping on patches of dirt.
