Attacks
Has all the physical attacks that the regular Kulu-Ya-Ku has except it deals triple the amount of damage.

Rock Toss: It will toss a rock with aimbot accuracy at the hunter. This deals a lot of damage.

Boulder Dash: It will pin both arms into the ground as it lifts up a massive boulder and then kicks it with extreme force to send the boulder rolling at the hunters direction. This can deal a ton of damage.

Powderstone Toss: Instead of picking up a rock, it will pick up a powderstone and then toss it at the hunter with aimbot accuracy. The powderstone explodes on impact and deals a ton of damage: inflicts Blastblight.
