'''Bone Dragons''' are large hydra-like dragon skeletons that [[Yoshi (species)|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 [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s at its head or [[Ground Pound|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 [[melon]]s.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Bone Dragon that raises the strength of attacks that involve biting by thirteen. It can be used by [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[smashwiki:Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]], and [[smashwiki:Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]] only.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ys48.jpg|thumb|Early version]]
*In [[List of Yoshi's Story pre-release and unused content|pre-release builds]] of ''Yoshi's Story'', Bone Dragons were not skeletal; they were purple-and-orange-colored and multi-headed and had only two big teeth.
*A Bone Dragon-like creature makes a cameo in [[Snowflake Lake]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and [[Pyramid Park]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Both of these, however, have horns and more rectangular faces.
