'''Bonetail''' is a large, skeletal dragon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' residing at the bottom of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. He is the older brother of [[Gloomtail]] and [[Hooktail]]. Unlike his still-living siblings, he is an undead dragon, having died of unknown reasons. He was once a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]], but it is never stated why or how Bonetail came to reside at the bottom of the Pit. According to [[Grifty]], Bonetail, along with his two siblings, went around the world terrorizing people some time before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind [[The Thousand-Year Door]]. There is some regional dispute over the gender of Bonetail, as while the English version depicts Bonetail as male, other versions depict Bonetail as female. In the Italian version, Bonetail's name is derived from "Cassandra", a girl's name. | |||
'''Bonetail''' is a large, skeletal | |||
After [[Mario]] and his teammates reach the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials, Bonetail roars, making it questionable if he can talk as he never demonstrates that ability. Bonetail's many breaths cause a variety of status ailments in addition to dealing damage. His blue breath can [[Frozen|freeze]] Mario, green breath can cause [[Confused|confusion]], purple can turn Mario or his partner [[Tiny (status effect)|tiny]], and white can inflict [[sleep]]. All of his fire breath attacks can be avoided with [[Shell Shield]] or simply guarding. If Mario defeats Bonetail, he coughs up a chest containing the [[Return Postage]] [[badge]]. | |||
Bonetail is much stronger than his younger siblings, Hooktail and Gloomtail, and even more than the Shadow Queen. He is the strongest boss in the game, but only offers one star point after defeat; Bonetail can restore 20 HP when having lower HP, and has the most HP out of any enemy. Additionally, Bonetail has the same default attack and defense stats as Gloomtail, with other buffs added throughout the fight. However, Bonetail does not have all of Gloomtail's attacks, like his earthquake attack or Megabreath. | |||
At the beginning of the fight, Mario's [[party member|partner]] makes a comment regarding Bonetail: | |||
*[[Goombella]]: ''"Wow! What a freak!"'' | |||
*[[Koops]]: ''"Yikes! What a grump!"'' | |||
*[[Flurrie]]: ''"Mercy! Such anger!"'' | |||
*[[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]]: ''"Whoa! What a psycho!"'' | |||
*[[Vivian]]: ''"Wow! What a grouch!"'' | |||
*[[Admiral Bobbery]]: ''"Rather a crabby sort, eh?"'' | |||
*[[Ms. Mowz]]: ''"My! What a crab!"'' | |||
