==Characteristics==
==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.
Rockbombs are living [[Material family|boulders]] made of bluish-grey stone, their maniacal faces with red eyes that display a smile missing several teeth. 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 {{MFamilies}}s in the area. The [[poison needle]] is particularly effective against rockbombs.

Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting it. In most cases, they will only self-destruct themselves once their HP has fallen below a certain threshold, increasing the pressure to dispatch them quickly. This can prove difficult in some games due to their high HP pools and resistance to status effects.

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

The Rockbomb is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Rockbombs are living boulders made of bluish-grey stone, their maniacal faces with red eyes that display a smile missing several teeth. 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 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 it. In most cases, they will only self-destruct themselves once their HP has fallen below a certain threshold, increasing the pressure to dispatch them quickly. This can prove difficult in some games due to their high HP pools and resistance to status effects.

Dragon Quest X

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

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.

Dragon Quest Builders

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

  • 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.
