Red Bones

"You'll go no farther, and from this moment on... You'll be nothing but bones!"

- Red Bones

Red Bones are enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are stronger than Dull Bones but not as strong as Dry Bones. They act the same as others in the Bones family, except Red Bones summon Dull Bones more often. They are the only ones with blue eyes, and they are able to command Dull Bones. Only one appears in Hooktail Castle and another 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.

Field Tattle
Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on Red Bones only in Hooktail Castle before Mario examines it.
 * "What a creepy pile of bones. I mean, they're ALL creepy, but this one's SUPER-creepy! I don't really feel like taking a look at it, but if we don't, we'll never get farther..."

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 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's early versions.
 * In the French version of Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door, Goombella remarks that the Red Bones in Hooktail's Castle is a "bloody skeleton". This is a reference to the enemy's Japanese name, Bloody Dull Bones.
