{{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.


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.

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.

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.
