Menacing massive heads that hover above the ground, just waiting for the right moment the mash adventurers with their awesomely big bulk. Their solid stone skin makes them hard to hurt and even worse, their ability to fire off blindingly bright flashes of light makes foes easily miss their attacks. They also love to chuck clusters of gravel rocks at large groups of opponents.
