'''Bone Dragons''' are large, hydra-like dragon skeletons that [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] encounter underground in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

Message Block in the Bone Dragon Pit, Yoshi's Story

Bone Dragons are large hydra-like dragon skeletons that Yoshis encounter in the Bone Dragon Pit in Yoshi's Story. Bone Dragons usually block a Yoshi's way, and to get past one, the Yoshi has to either throw eggs at its head or ground-pound it, with either method taking two hits to defeat the Bone Dragon. Bone Dragons are not completely defenseless, however, as they can attack the Yoshis by occasionally spitting a fireball at them. In a couple of cases, a Yoshi encounters a three-headed Bone Dragon, complete with a body. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi. Each of the heads takes two hits, and defeating the Bone Dragon earns Yoshi three melons.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a sticker of a Bone Dragon that raises the strength of attacks that involve biting by thirteen. It can be used only by Yoshi, Wario, Pokémon Trainer, and Wolf.
