Characteristics

Rambunctious, rocky warriors that tirelessly guard the deepest and darkest caves for some unknown reason that even they've most likely forgotten. Forged in only the sturdiest stone, it's hard to bring these solid soldiers to ruin. They spend endless years stamping around in the darkness, causing rock falls and tremors that they then level against any lackluster intruders.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III

They appear when The Hero & company is trapped in a room on the first floor of Charlock Castle. They are also summoned by Muddy hands
