Rock Monster

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity

Rock Monsters,^[1]^[2]^{[VA 1]} also known as Golems^{[mg 1]} and Rock Creatures,^[3]^[4] are sentient rock Golem monsters from Legerdomain. They are brought to life from totems by Charmcaster, who sends them to fight Ben's team often throughout the franchise.

Appearance

They are portrayed as large golem-like creatures with pink and white or magenta runes in their stone skin, similar to the carvings on the Charms of Bezel. When activated, they glow bright pink and white.

In the Original Series, Rock Monsters were usually depicted as being dog-like, but some were also bird-like.^[5]

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, they were drastically changed into burly humanoids.

Rock Monsters controlled by Addwaitya are more bluish in color but lack the runes of those controlled by Charmcaster. Rock Monsters controlled by Darkstar look mostly similar to Charmcaster's except their runes are gold due to being powered by his golden energy.

In Omniverse, Rock Monsters look mostly the same as in the Original Series but with the size and color scheme seen in other series. Charmcaster and Darkstar's Rock Monsters both have magenta runs.

Charmcaster can also summon bat-like creatures from her bag. These creatures are also made of stone and also sport the pink or magenta runes.

History

Ben 10

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding information.

In Tough Luck, a rock monster was chasing Max before being thwarted by Wildmutt, who reverted back to Ben.

In A Change of Face, they helped Gwen because she had switched bodies with Charmcaster's body after one of Charmcaster's spells backfired when Gwen got caught in the bubble. During the food fight, when Pinky demanded that Gwen give up the spellbook, Gwen released stone birds and they attacked Pinky, and when Missy tried to attack Gwen from behind with a group of female prisoners, the stone birds attacked the group instead. When Gwen, Pinky, and Missy escaped into the sewers, Charmcaster's bag followed them and gave Gwen a magical bomb she used to blow up the bars.

When Pinky and Missy tried to kill Gwen once more, Gwen decided enough was enough and threw two eggs at them. The eggs hatched into two Rock Monsters. Pinky and Missy became afraid of them. They ran in terror and into the cops, fearing that the Rock Monsters might kill them. When Gwen returned to Ben and Max, the Rock Monsters still protected Gwen, furious that Charmcaster abandoned them in the hands of the cops that arrested Gwen when she was in Charmcaster's body.

In Ken 10, Gwendolyn Tennyson appeared and gifts Ken a rock monster as a pet. After being released from the Null Void chamber by Devin, Kevin stomped on it. After thwarting Kevin and Devin joining Ken's family, the rock monster regenerates and reunites with Ken.

In Ben 10 vs. Negative 10: Part 2, Charmcaster set rock monsters after Gwen.

Alien Force

In Time Heals, in an alternate timeline, Charmcaster enslaved Kevin and turned him into a Rock Monster, preventing him from being able to defeat her and Hex.

Ultimate Alien

In Where the Magic Happens, Rock Monsters controlled by Addwaityaappeared. Here it is revealed that they can be natural creatures instead of simple homunculi, and that the rock monsters that Charmcaster is normally assisted by were freed by her and so they follow her willingly and are not controlled by her at all.

In Absolute Power: Part 1, Gwen called upon Rock Monsters to fight Ultimate Kevin. They did a good job at first, but then they were defeated when Kevin absorbed their manna, causing them to crumble and fall.

In Enemy of My Frenemy, a more intelligent Rock Monster known as Ignaceous helped Ben and his team find Addwaitya. When he is later injured during Addwaitya's attack, he urges the others to press on without him.

In Couples Retreat, Darkstar used Rock Monsters against Ben and Kevin.

Omniverse

In Mystery, Incorporeal, Rock Monsters were controlled by Darkstar.

In Charmed, I'm Sure, regular and bat Rock Monsters were used to form an armor for Charmcaster. However, this armor was destroyed by Hobble and Rook.

In Charm School, bat Rock Monsters attacked the team only to be defeated by Gwen as Lucky Girl.
