Depiction
In the story of the LEGO Rock Raiders theme, rock monsters are one of the alien creatures encountered by the Rock Raiders on the uncharted planet that the LMS Explorer is stranded in orbit around.
The LEGO Rock Raiders video game's instruction manual states that Chief is rumoured to have encountered a Rock Monster in his youth. He has never spoken about his experience to anyone, but has written about it in the Explorer's computer, describing the creature as being twice as tall as him with "fiery" eyes and remembering that it devoured a pile of Energy Crystals and disappeared into the surrounding rock. At the time of the LEGO Rock Raiders story, only a few other people had seen Rock Monsters prior.[1]: 83
In the Rock Raiders puzzle storybook, the Rock Raiders first encounter a Rock Monster shortly after arriving underground from the surface. Docs sees a Rock Monster enter the cave; the Rock Monster breaks open a rock that contains a power crystal and eats the crystal, letting the Rock Raiders know that power crystals can be found inside similar rocks.[2]: 8–9
