After the stalker throws the rock, roll a d6; on a roll of 3 or lower, the stalker has no more rocks to throw.

Erupting Horns 5.The stalker causes the earth to churn at a point on the ground it can see within 60 feet of itself. Six horn-shaped stones erupt in a 30-foot-radius, 30-foot-high cylinder centered on that point and then crumble to dust. Each creature in that area must make a 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 33 (6d10) piercing damage and is pushed up to 30 feet upward and then falls. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.

Stalker of Baphomet

Demon worship is rare among stone giants; the destructive tendency of demons is the antithesis of the artistry that drives the stone giant's ordning. The Horned King, Baphomet, is an exception. Though he is a merciless hunter, the Prince of Beasts also crafts complex mazes as his hunting grounds. Stone giants can become mesmerized by the demon lord's mazes and enter his service. These giants can continue pursuing art by crafting mazes, while satiating their bloodlust by hunting in them.

Baphomet rewards his most faithful cultists with transformation into demonic stalkers. Such a giant grows an elaborate crown of six horns, and Baphomet gives the stone giant a magic glaive and the ability to call up horns of stone from the earth.
