Dark Bones

"Let those who would disturb her sleep fall into the depths of endless darkness..."

- Dark Bones

Dark Bones are the most powerful type of Dry Bones. Instead of being a pale gray with red shoes, they are a very bluish violet with purple shoes. Dark Bones are only found in the Palace of Shadow (where they are seen twice, once in a corridor and yet again in Riddle Tower) in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

It is unknown whether Dark Bones affiliate with Bowser or not, but they appear to be affiliated with the Shadow Queen. Ironically, however, a certain Dark Bones's pre-battle speech seemed to indicate that he had been ordered to keep the Shadow Queen from awakening.

Trivia

 * The Red Dry Bones of Mario Superstar Baseball (which would more logically be assumed to be a Red Bones) would seem to be designed after Dark Bones, though it has a red, spiked shell and a horn on the end of his nose, similar to a Rex. It also wore red shoes and gloves, differentiating itself from Dark Bones.
