A '''Red Bones''' is an enemy that first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is slightly stronger than a [[Dull Bones]], and if its HP reaches zero, it could come back to life after a few turns unless finished off by fire, lightning, or explosive elements. They act the same as others in the Bones family, except a Red Bones can summon some Dull Bones a little more frequently. It has the same body frame as a Dull Bones, except that the palette coloration is different with the bones of its body being a pale violet red color, while the shell and shoes are a standard red color, and its eyes glow cyan. One of these appears as a mini-boss in [[Hooktail Castle]] and another one appears as a standard enemy for a certain puzzle in the [[Palace of Shadow]]'s [[Riddle Tower]], although the tattle of a Red Bones can be found in [[Frankly]]'s trash can after Chapter 1. The Japanese name and their field tattle in the French version indicate that they are red due to being bloodstained.

==Trivia==
*In the trailer to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', several scenes involving Red Bones were present, including one where he is selected in battle. This particular scene reveals that Red Bones was known as '''Red Koopa Skeleton''' in one of <i>Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door</i>'s [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|early versions]].
*Red Bones is the only enemy in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that's fought more than once and can have its Tattle Log entry appear in Professor Frankly's trash can. The player can obtain Red Bones' Tattle Log entry after defeating it in Chapter 1, even though the player is forced to fight another Red Bones in the Tower of Riddles. This implies that the second Red Bones battle was added later in development.
*Red Bones is the only enemy in the game to have a susceptibility to the [[Burn]] status ailment that is between 0% and 100%.
*In the tattle for Red Bones, the "0" representing its HP is mistakenly written as the letter "O".
