The '''rockbomb''' (originally '''Bombcrag''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it is a monster in the form of a round boulder and has a penchant for exploding.
The '''Rockbomb''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.


==Description==
It is a craggy boulder with a trademark smile and penchant for exploding, occasionally killing everyone in the [[party]].
The rockbomb is a rock monster, which is part of the material family. It is a bluish, sometimes gray, boulder with a maniacal face on it, its teeth particularly gapped.


Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or watch their health, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, rockbombs are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of exploding, usually in the form of the potentially devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell.
==Characteristics==
{{Monster}}s 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.


Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting Kamikazee.
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 ''enormous'' {{HP}} stat compared to other {{MFamilies}}s in the area. The [[Poison needle|Poison Needle]] is particularly effective against Rockbombs.

The rockbomb (then Bombcrag) can be found in the [[Excavated Cave]] in [[Deja]] and the [[Rexwood]] region in Disc 2. There is a rare chance that that, upon defeat, the rockbomb will drop a Bombcrag Heart which can be used to become a rockbomb in the [[Temple of Dharma]].

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 [[Nadiria|Netherworld]]. They no longer waste their turns in battle by grinning.

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 {{MFamilies}}s, 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.

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.

*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.
*The bomb's finishing move in ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]'' is likely a parody of the character Sephiroth's supernova attack from ''[[Final Fantasy]] VII''.

Latest revision as of 19:34, 10 August 2024

This article is about the monster. For the monster vocation, see Rockbomb (vocation).

The Rockbomb is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest III.

It is a craggy boulder with a trademark smile and penchant for exploding, occasionally killing everyone in the party.

Characteristics[edit]

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 enormous HP stat compared to other monsters in the area. The Poison Needle is particularly effective against Rockbombs.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

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.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime[edit]

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.

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.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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.
  • The bomb's finishing move in Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory is likely a parody of the character Sephiroth's supernova attack from Final Fantasy VII.
