A simpler example of the type of mineral-organic combination life form represented by the sandfolk, the walking stone is a "grazer" that lives on the minerals of Tharsis and the unusual semi-mineral flora found there. When resting, the creature appears to be a boulder about 2 to 3 feet in diameter. When it moves, the "boulder" rises up on ten long legs and reveals a set of rock-crushing jaws.
Walking stones are often hunted by groups of sandfolk. In addition to food, the creature's legs are used to make javelins/spears, and a tough organic layer beneath the outer shell of rock can be used to make a leather-like substance.
