Dry Bones: Difference between revisions

Dry Bones appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as enemies found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. In this game, Dry Bones are able to walk upright and throw bones at Mario, similar to their appearance in ''Super Mario World''. They are also capable of building more of themselves, with the same amount of HP as the original unit. When a Dry Bones' [[Heart Point]]s are depleted, it collapses on the ground but remains in battle, reviving itself after two turns. Dry Bones defeated this way do not drop [[coin]]s or [[Star Point]]s, but the battle will still end if only collapsed Dry Bones remain on the enemy side. A Dry Bones can be permanently defeated, awarding Mario with coins and Star Points, by using fire and explosion attacks (e.g. [[Kooper]]'s [[Fire Shell]] or [[Bombette]]'s [[Bomb (Paper Mario series)|Bomb]]), which also ignore their defense and deal an additional 10 damage, allowing these moves to instantly defeat a Dry Bones. If a Dry Bones spots Mario outside battle, they try to throw a bone at him to make the [[First Strike]]. Additionally, due to Mario's levels capping at 27 and Dry Bones' level being at 30, they are the only non-boss enemy in the game that can never be defeated with the [[Spin Attack (Badge)|Spin Attack]].
