Dark Bones

Dark Bones are the most powerful type of Dry Bones. Instead of being a pale grey with red shoes, they are a very bluish violet with purple shoes. Dark Bones are only found in the Riddle Tower in the Palace of Shadow. This, of course, is in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Dark Bones made a surprise appearance in Mario Superstar Baseball as Red Dry Bones. The two were almost exactly alike, except the coloration was black with red shoes.

It is unknown whether Dark Bones affiliate with Bowser or not, but they appear to be affiliated with the Shadow Queen.

Stats and Tattle Information

 * Stats: HP: 20, Attack 5, Defense: 2
 * Locations: Palace of Shadow
 * Tattle: That's a Dark Bones. It's the baddest of the Bones gang. Max HP is 20, Attack is 5 and Defense is 0. When its HP goes down to 0, it collapses into a pile, but it'll eventually rise again. Fire and explosions will put a permanent end to it getting back up, though. Its HP is high so it's hard to take it down. Like any other Bones, it sometimes builds friends if it feels outnumbered. It's a tough enemy. You better take it and it's buddies out all at once.
 * Tattle Number: 23
 * Tattle Log: It's the baddest of the Bones bunch, so its HP are really high. When its HP get down to 0, it might rise again.
