Monsters made of living stone, rockbombs are part of the Material family. They are bluish, sometimes gray, boulders with a maniacal faces with particularly gaped teethed. 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 via 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 enormousHP stat compared to other monsters in the area. The poison needle is particularly effective against rockbombs.
Sedentary stones that will self-destruct if not dealt with in a timely manner. With these troublesome lumps of rubble, every battle is a race against the clock
Rockbombs appear in the Slippin' Slime minigame as obstacles, causing the player to lose if their Slime touches it. A rockbomb also appears in the monster-oriented version of Reaper's Peak. It will simply say "Grrrarrrgh" when spoken to.
Rockbombs appeared from the beginning of the game. They can perform an attack while cackling insanely and will waste their turns by grinning maliciously, and naturally, still possess their signature ability to self-destruct by casting Kamikazee. Starting with Version 5.0, vicious rockbombs can be encountered in the Netherworld. They no longer waste their turns in battle by grinning.
This rocky monster is famed for its snickering smirk. Make it mad and it'll cast 'kamikazee' and go out with a bang. An inspiration for rockers the world over
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.
Craggy creatures concealed among rocks who explode when endangered, taking flocks of foes down with them. Pacifists at heart, they like nothing more than to doze in quiet corners. Disturb their dreams at your peril!

If you can deplete the life gauge of the Rockbomb and get far enough away before its timed Kamikazee attack expires and it explodes, destroying all in its path, the enemy just might drop a Rockbomb shard. These things are risky to get, but they're worth it.
Rockbomb appears as a C-rank monster of the Inorganic family during the first part of the limited True Dragon Quest V event. It can be scouted from Chapter 2, Episode 2: Zenithian Shield of the event quests at any difficulty and it can participate in Pankraz Gotha's Battle Road as a party member.
In Dragon Quest VII, the Gadabout has a joke about the rockbomb. It goes "Have you heard about the rockbomb who liked to Rock and Roll?"
While often noted for their grins, they are never shown smiling in Rocket Slime, bearing slight frowns while asleep and having angrily agape mouths while steaming from being woken up.
