|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.

'''Dark Bones''' are the most powerful type of [[Dull Bones]]. Instead of being a pale gray with red shoes, they are a 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]]''.
'''Dark Bones''' are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are the most powerful type of [[Dry Bones]]. Instead of being pale gray with red shoes, they are indigo 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]]. A certain Dark Bones's pre-battle speech seems to indicate that it has been ordered to keep the Shadow Queen from awakening.


It is unknown whether Dark Bones affiliate with [[Bowser]] or not, but they appear to be affiliated with the [[Shadow Queen]]. However, a certain Dark Bones's pre-battle speech seems to indicate that it has been ordered to keep the Shadow Queen from awakening.
In battle, Dark Bones behave like regular Dry Bones, having the same moves and stats except much higher HP. After being defeated in both areas they appear in, they cannot be fought again.
 
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', the Wither Skeletons resemble Dark Bones.

===Field Tattle===
Outside of battle, [[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Dark Bones only in [[Palace of Shadow]] before Mario examines it.
*"''Those are some weird-colored bones. Very suspicious! ...But I feel like I've seen something like them before. I guess we're not gonna get much farther without checking them out, are we?''"

==Trivia==
==Names in other languages==
*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 its nose, similar to a [[Rex]]. It also wore red shoes and gloves making itself different from Dark Bones.  It's worth noting that Dark Bones is a slightly more powerful hitter than the standard Dry Bones.
