A weaponized form of Ground-Shattering Landing performed by various game bosses. Usually (But not always) through a Ground Pound, they shake the very foundations of the room you fight them in, causing boulders, support girders, or other debris to fall from the ceiling. Some are so skilled at this that they can aim the debris either at the hero, or right on top of themselves so they can throw it. One wonders how the whole building or cave doesn't collapse and crush the hero and boss. Similarly, you'd expect at some point there would be no more stuff left up there to fall down but that never happens, no matter how many times the boss smashes the arena. May occasionally show up with smaller enemies as well. Not to be confused with Load-Bearing Boss. Compare Stalactite Spite. |

Abobo's Big Adventure: The Old Man from The Legend of Zelda does this as a boss. After drinking a potion and having turned into a giant, he often stomps on the ground causing debris to fall from the ceiling. Since the stage is in a top-down view, Abobo must stay away from the crosshairs that appear to avoid being crushed by the stone chunks. | |

The Wacky Workbench boss in Sonic the Hedgehog CD is an interesting case. Robotnik's machine blasts through the ceiling above, dropping debris down that you ride up to the next floor - which has a hole in it from where Robotnik broke through. The third time he does this, he doesn't actually make it through the ceiling, but his drill breaks and the spikes rain down along with debris, and riding up to the ceiling reveals his machine got stuck in it. | |

Mega Man (Classic): A very common setup. Guts Man from Mega Man would jump around, and catch the falling boulder to throw at you. And he does it again as the first Fortress Boss in Mega Man 7. Junk Man would also Ground Pound, making debris fall randomly. The Power Piston, the second boss of Mr. X's castle in Mega Man 6, pounds the wall to cause a constant rain of rocks. Grenade Man in Mega Man 8 would fire a bomb at the wall, causing the place to shake and make rubble fall from the ceiling. Frost Man from the same game could pound the floor and cause the ice blocks above to fall all over the arena. Stone Head, a miniboss in Jewel Man's stage in Mega Man 9 shakes the ground to cause boulders to fall. |

In World of Warcraft Magtheridon causes debris to fall onto players during his third stage, when he breaks the walls of his prison. Prior to the fight itself Scourgelord Tyrannus forces players to run through an ice tunnel and uses his dragon to try to collapse the roof, dropping giant chunks of ice that hurl players around the tunnel if they connect. During the encounter with Tortos, a massive dragon turtle that's fused with the caverns below the Throne of Thunder, stalactites rain down from the ceiling, causing severe damage if they hit players directly and comparatively mild raid-wide damage for players who are close to them. |

Plant 42 in the original 1996 Resident Evil. Since it can't reach you with its tendrils if you stand far enough away, the plant's movement will shake the ceiling and drop large chunks of plaster on your head while you shoot at it, forcing you to use stick-and-move tactics. | |

Voodoo Vince: This is actually the way to defeat the third boss. Because the protagonist is a voodoo doll, the player needs to position themselves under the falling rubble to get struck by it and transfer the harm to the boss. Sounds easy until you account for the fact you're riding a rat that never stops while trying to avoid numerous bottomless pits and shockwaves generated by the boss. | |

Eggman's machine in Ice Mountain Zone in Sonic Advance remains on the ceiling, pounding it to rain stalactites down on you. Since you're stuck in water too deep to jump out of, you have to jump on the sinking stalactites to be able to reach Eggman, and get a breath. | |

Pikmin 2: Empress Bulblax develops a new attack after its first encounter — her side-to-side rolling attack will, when she rams into the sides of her lair, cause boulders to fall down and crush anything they hit. The Segmented Crawbster in the Cavern of Chaos can only be harmed by striking its soft belly, which can only be exposed by goading it into hitting the walls of its cave with its Rolling Attack. However, doing this will also cause a shower of rocks to fall from the ceiling. Gather your Pikmin. Fast. |

La-Mulana. The Giant's Mausoleum boss, Sakit, causes rubble to fall from the ceiling whenever he takes a step, since he's a giant hundred-foot tall statue. Rubble also falls when he shoots his fist out at you. Ellmac, the boss of the Sun Temple, can roar to make stalactites fall from the ceiling in the original MSX styled version of the game. He loses this attack in the HD Remake. La-Mulana 2: Surtr will make blocks fall from the ceiling with every step, as well as deliberately cause an avalanche by smashing the wall. These blocks are your only platforms over a lava pit. (In earlier versions of the game, it was a Bottomless Pit, leading to much frustration at the numerous cheap deaths.) |

This is also a common attack for the Golem enemies. Some will cause boulders to rain down, while the Iron Golem from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will make gears tumble down, since you fight him in a clock tower. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog is by no means a stranger to this attack. The spiked pig robot boss from Sonic 2 for the Master System/Game Gear would charge at you. If he hit the wall, stalactites would rain down. Robotnik's machine in Mystic Cave Zone from the Genesis version would burrow in and out of the ceiling, causing a rain of stone. The rocks were harmless, but the stalactites would hurt you. You face off with a drill bot with a very similar pattern in Marble Garden Zone in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The Wacky Workbench boss in Sonic the Hedgehog CD is an interesting case. Robotnik's machine blasts through the ceiling above, dropping debris down that you ride up to the next floor - which has a hole in it from where Robotnik broke through. The third time he does this, he doesn't actually make it through the ceiling, but his drill breaks and the spikes rain down along with debris, and riding up to the ceiling reveals his machine got stuck in it. Eggman's machine in Ice Mountain Zone in Sonic Advance remains on the ceiling, pounding it to rain stalactites down on you. Since you're stuck in water too deep to jump out of, you have to jump on the sinking stalactites to be able to reach Eggman, and get a breath. |

In Akane the Kunoichi, one of the bosses causes spikes to fall from the ceiling in addition to more normal attacks. Dodging is made a little more difficult by the fact that the fight occurs in running water (which carries you along if you aren't moving, meaning that it's harder to just stand in the safe spots). | |

Mega Man: Mega Man (Classic): A very common setup. Guts Man from Mega Man would jump around, and catch the falling boulder to throw at you. And he does it again as the first Fortress Boss in Mega Man 7. Junk Man would also Ground Pound, making debris fall randomly. The Power Piston, the second boss of Mr. X's castle in Mega Man 6, pounds the wall to cause a constant rain of rocks. Grenade Man in Mega Man 8 would fire a bomb at the wall, causing the place to shake and make rubble fall from the ceiling. Frost Man from the same game could pound the floor and cause the ice blocks above to fall all over the arena. Stone Head, a miniboss in Jewel Man's stage in Mega Man 9 shakes the ground to cause boulders to fall. Drill Man in Rockman 4 Minus ∞ does this during his desperation attack. In the Mega Man Battle Network series, Stone Man, Knight Man, Laser Man, Ground Man, and Gregar all have attacks that cause this to happen, though it's exemplified by the last, as it causes rocks to fall every time it moves on top of having an attack that rains down a ton more.

Rayquaza is a variation on this in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. After you awaken him, he flies out of Sky Pillar, half destroys the place, and you wonder when you're riding through it the next time in order to catch him why it's still standing. As it is, you fall through the floor if you don't get things just right. The moves Rock Throw and Rock Slide also seem to be based on this trope. | |
