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 its buddies out all at once.

“Let those who would disturb her sleep fall into the depths of endless darkness...”
Dark Bones, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Dark Bones are the most powerful type of Dry 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. Showstopper, the special move, can actually destroy the Dark Bones.

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.

Dark Bones returns in Mario Super Sluggers as a playable character and alternate team player of Dry Bones. In challenge mode, he kidnaps Dixie Kong and battles Mario and Co.
