Roles	Foe, Summon
Appearances	Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The Dirt Boulder is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is a member of the Boulders enemy group. They largely appear in the Wild Tropics, with a few appearances later in the game.

Appearance

The Dirt Boulder, as the name implies, is made almost entirely out of dirt. It has green gems for its eyes and mouth, along with gray stones around its body and a small twig on the top.

Like all Boulders, it can use a thematically appropriate boulder to attack players; Dirt Boulder's is a large ball of dirt with the same general features as the foe itself, minus green gems.
