A boulder is a pushable tile. They often figure prominently in slider puzzles.

Effect on fakes

Boulders leave empties behind them when they move. This can be an issue for games that use fake walls as floors, as pushing a boulder across a board will "erase" a black trail

This erasing behavior happens because boulders lack stats, and stats are what keep track of what's underneath a movable entity. Giving a boulder stats solves the erasing issue, though the number of boulders treated this way is of course limited by the board's stat limit.
