Krossbones are semi-common enemies found in [[Creepy Castle]] and [[Fungi Forest]] at night. Unlike normal Kritters who attack by biting and punching, Krossbones attack by swinging a bone club that seems to be a part of their body. Krossbones can be defeated by simply pummeling them; whenever a Krossbones is hit with an attack, one of their body parts falls off. Krossbones also appear in several of the later [[Battle Arena Pad]]s in ''Donkey Kong 64''.  They take at the most, three hits before going down, though an [[Orange]] can destroy them instantly.
Unlike normal Kritters, Bones attack by swinging their bone club at the active [[Kong]]. Bones can be defeated after taking either one, two, or three hits. This is often based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Bones' head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Bones lose balance and collapse on the ground. The Kongs can instantly defeat a Bones by throwing an [[Orange]] at one (which would cause it to lose its head and left arm during the process), or by using their musical instrument.

Bones[1] are a skeletal variant of Kritter in Donkey Kong 64. They appear in Fungi Forest (in the nighttime) and Creepy Castle, both in which they appear semi-frequently. They also appear in two of the later Battle Arena Pad stages, of DK Isles and Creepy Castle.

Unlike normal Kritters, Bones attack by swinging their bone club at the active Kong. Bones can be defeated after taking either one, two, or three hits. This is often based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Bones' head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Bones lose balance and collapse on the ground. The Kongs can instantly defeat a Bones by throwing an Orange at one (which would cause it to lose its head and left arm during the process), or by using their musical instrument.
