One thing that seems true regardless of where you are is that people can come up with some creative and scary ways to hurt each other. But what does someone do when conventional weapons aren't available, they aren't interested in or skilled at hand-to-hand-combat, and when they are in a rush? For the strongest and bluntest of characters, attacking their enemy with a rock will suffice. This signals a few things about the character. One is that they are physically strong or at least going through enough of an adrenaline rush to gain some strength. This character is typically focused on doing the most damage they can as easily as possible, often marking them as a Combat Pragmatist or a primitive brute. Another possibility is that the character, for whatever reason, doesn't have another weapon to use and is acting out of desperation. Whether they're desperate or just brutish, however, one fact remains the same: they want to do some damage, and are willing to resort to literally crushing someone with a stone to accomplish their goal. To apply, the weapon need not be a rock specifically. Concrete, bricks, cinder blocks, and other rock-like objects can count, as well. Truth in Television, of course; a decently-sized and sturdy rock or brick will do just as well as any other bludgeon in the event that you need to defend yourself quickly. Either being used in melee or being thrown. When turned into a superpower, this is Dishing Out Dirt. Defiant Stone Throw is when the character throws a rock as an act of defiance instead of using it as a weapon although there's nothing stopping the tropes from overlapping. Subtrope of Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon and Improvised Weapon. Unrelated to Homing Boulders. |

Played with in the The Simpsons episode "Bart's Friend Falls in Love''. After Bart confesses that he's the reason Samantha's dad won't allow Milhouse to see her anymore, the latter starts to strangle Bart. Bart then reaches around the floor, choosing from a brick and a broken glass bottle, before settling on a "Lucky 8-ball". | |

Lincoln Rhyme: in The Coffine Dancer, at one point when we see the P.O.V. of the hitman, it's mentioned that he's not attached to his weapons and will use any method to terminate his targets, even a rock if it's convenient. Later, in The Twelfth Card, the climax has Amelia beating the killer into submission with half a brick after distracting him with her empty pistol, having lost her knife. | |

In Rambo IV, serves as a very dark Call-Back during the climactic battle. As Rambo uses a .50 cal. to mow down Burmese troops, and School Boy uses his .50 cal rifle to cover the mercenaries, Michael, one of the Hostages rescued by Rambo and the mercs, tackles a Burmese soldier that tried to flank the mercs and took a shot at Lewis. In the struggle, Michael, who had earlier given Rambo a "Thou Shalt Not Kill" spiel, picks up a rock and uses it to bash in the soldier's skull. | |

Discworld: As mentioned in Sourcery, many people with all manner of magical weapons and powers have been defeated by the old Half-brick-in-a-sock. It is also the weapon Rincewind uses to fight The Creatures from the Dungeon Dimension. Trolls hit each other with rocks all the time. However trolls are durable enough (being made of living rock themselves) that this is seen as a friendly greeting rather than an attack. If it's a pretty rock, then it's a very friendly greeting. |

In Condemned 2: Bloodshot, bricks are one of the more fairly common weapons to run into. In fact in a few levels, whole piles of it can be found, you can pick up more bricks infinitely without worrying about decreasing the pile too. They are light and attack very quickly, but obviously have short reach and deal a low amount of damage. Naturally thanks to these brick piles and how light they are, they are also commonly used as projectiles. Some levels even need bricks to be thrown in order to access certain areas. If a player discards a brick, it will break as soon as it hits the floor. | |

Dungeons & Dragons. If giants have boulders nearby they can pick them up and throw them at their opponents instead of using their normal melee weapons. Apes also get a 'Rock Throw' action, making them one of the few beasts with a ranged attack. |

Dr. T'Ana figures the best cure for Ransom getting jacked up on strange and energies and becoming a god is dropping a giant boulder on him.

Batman: The Animated Series: According to his story in "Almost Got 'Im", Killer Croc's closest attempt at killing Batman involved a thrown rocknote ...It was a big rock.... Croc's love of thrown rocks is brought up later in "The Trial" when he's part of the Joker Jury and suggests hitting Batman with a rock, and he tries (or re-tries) the feat in the later episode "Sideshow" where it once again fails to kill Batman (but gets pretty close). In "Almost Got 'Im", it actually turns out that Killer Croc was Batman in disguise, meaning that Batman thought it was Croc's best attempt at his life! | |

While The Bible doesn't tell us how Cain killed Abel in Genesis 4:8, popular belief and artistry hold that he beat his brother's head in with a rock. | |

In Akame ga Kill!, alchemist Dorothea modified her own body to the point that she's able to survive having her neck broken. Leone responds to this by picking up a giant boulder and crushing Dorothea's entire body with it. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide: The ogryn playable class, fitting with their characterization as dumb brutes, can pick up chunks of concrete and such to chuck at enemies, often delivering a One-Hit Kill. | |

In Game of Thrones, when Lady Brienne finds Arya, she intends to take her with her, and after she refuses to go, Clegane, who was traveling with her, tells Brienne to leave them alone. When Brienne refuses, they get into brutal fight, that is ultimately ended when Brienne, picks up a rock, and bashes it onto Clegane's skull. Brienne then goes to look for Arya who ran off during the fight, shortly there after, Arya confronts a badly injured Clegane, and after he tried to goad her into killing him to end his suffering, she instead takes the coin bag, and leaves him to die on his own. In House of the Dragon, Daemon Targaryen comes back to the Vale and kills his Unwanted Spouse Rhea Royce with a stone after causing her to fall from her horse (the fall paralyzes her and the scene's last shot is him grabbing a stone and getting closer to finish her off). |

In The Princess Bride, Vizzini (the brains of the bad guy trio) is the one who insists that the giant Fezzik should smash the Man in Black's head in with a huge rock—but Fezzik actually prefers a fairer fight. When the Man in Black does show up, Fezzik deliberately misses with the first rock, just to prove that he could have killed him, then challenges the Man in Black to a fight without weapons. | |

The Brute summon from The Bard's Tale is a massive half-naked oaf who, despite his size and girth, is a long-ranged fighter. Because of his size and girth, said long-ranged attack is delivered with massive boulders, dealing massive damage to enemies and stunning them. | |

The Wolf and the Waves: Your only attack in human form is throwing rocks. It's a hard-to-aim and low-damage attack, encouraging the player to switch to wolf form for combat. | |

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Red King, during the fight with Ray's Gomora, gets the idea to suddenly find and use a giant boulder against the Ancient Monster. Unfortunately for the Skull Monster, Gomora then shows off that it can use its Super Oscillatory Waves as a beam attack, quickly shattering the bolder in Red King's hands. | |

Asterix: Big Guy Obelix sometimes uses a menhir (a large, pointed, prehistoric rock) to bludgeon or crush his opponents. In Asterix and the Big Fight, this tactic comes back to bite him however when he tries to hit some Romans with a menhir, but ends up hitting Getafix instead, giving the druid amnesia. | |

The Hunger Games: Thresh, after believing that Clove had killed his young district partner Rue, had gotten so enraged that he killed her by smashing her head with a large rock. In the first movie, an unnamed victor of a previous Hunger Games, whose arena was the ruins of an abandoned city, killed the runner-up by beating him with a brick. |

Dark Reign at one point had the X-Man, Colossus fighting the Mac Gargan version of Venom. Besides being impervious to Venom's attack and being a lot stronger, Colossus upped his advantage by ripping out a part of the ground and braining Venom with it. | |

Dark Passage opens with the wrongfully accused Vincent Parry escaping from prison and getting a lift from a passing motorist, Baker. When Baker realizes who his passenger is, Vincent punches him out of the car, knocks him unconscious, then desperately grabs a rock to kill him with. But before he can become a murderer for real, Irene (the one person who knows Vincent is innocent) shows up and persuades him not to go through with it. | |

Marble Hornets: Alex does this twice: After he and Jay are attacked by "Masky" and manage to not only defend themselves but take him down long enough to unmask him (finding their friend Tim), Alex, after being told he can't kill him, instead smashes his legs with a nearby rock to cripple him. He starts to become paranoid after Jay has been spending weeks doing nothing but stalking him. When a man innocently approaches him from behind, Alex goes into a fit of rage and murders the man with a rock, believing it to be Jay. This murder is seen on a video taken by totheark in order to expose Alex's crime. |

Street Fighter: One of Cody's dirty fighting tricks is to pick up some stones and then throw them at people mid-fight. Later on, in Street Fighter V, he's got a variant; he can toss up a stone and then punt it with his steel pipe like a baseball to hit enemies at range. | |

During the climactic fight in Float Like A Butterfly, local bully Eamann hits Frances in the face with a rock after she knocks him down, which almost completely negates the previous advantage she had over him. Given that they're supposed to be having a fair, stand-up boxing match, it's particularly dirty (and Eamann was already cheating by having stones hidden in his hand wraps). | |

The giant round boulder-wielding Infested Barbarians in Dark Souls are much more dangerous than the regular club-wielding kind, thanks to their extended move set, which includes slamming you (repeatedly) into the ground with the boulder, charging you from a distance by rolling the boulder in front of them, or just throwing their boulder at you from range (and immediately summoning another one into their hands). | |
