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 Riddle Tower in the Palace of Shadow in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Dark Bones made a surprise appearance in Mario Superstar Baseball as Red Dry Bones. In this game, however, Dark Bones had a red, spiked shell and a horn on the end of his nose, similar to a Rex. He also wore red shoes and gloves.
It is unknown whether Dark Bones affiliate with Bowser or not, but they appear to be affiliated with the Shadow Queen.
