Dark Bones
- “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 very 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.
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 seemed to indicate that it had been ordered to keep the Shadow Queen from awakening.
Dark Bones also makes his appearance in Mario Super Sluggers. You put him on your team by changing the color on Dry Bones to red. Then the name is changed to Dark Bones and you have his appearance (black color,spike shell, etc.)

Trivia
- 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.
