Dry Bones are undead Koopa Troopas and enemies in the Mario series of games. They are skeletal Koopas with gray shoes, and usually walk on two feet. Being undead, they are quite difficult to kill, as jumping on them will result in them rebuilding themselves. They are most commonly found in deserts, but also appear in castles. There are a few variations, including Red Bones and Dull Bones.

Dull Bones appear in Chapter 3 as common enemies in the Arid Amour and uncommonly in the Vendromir Shrine. They have 3 HP, an attack of 2, and a defense of 0. They only have one attack, throwing a bone at Mario or his partner. However, when defeated, a timer starts, and if the battle hasn't ended after 3 turns, they will resurrect with full health.
Dry Bones appear in Chapter 9 as uncommon enemies in the Morose Mountains. They have 16 HP, an attack of 6, and a defense of 2. They have the Bone Toss of their weaker form, and their Resurrection happens in 2 turns, but they also have another attack in the Bone Volley (essentially three Bone Tosses at once), and Bone Build, allowing them to create another Dry Bones.
Baleful Bones appear in Chapter 10, as an uncommon enemy in the Central Cores subarea of the City of Perfection. They have 20 HP, an attack of 7, and a defense of 2. They have the same moves as Dry Bones, but revive the turn after their defeat, and have the ability to fling Mario at his partner (or vice versa) with Finite Fling or restrain them with Regal Restraint.
Dark Bones appear in The Elysium's 100 Trials on Floors 21-30. They have 20 HP, an attack of 10, and a defense of 4. They carry the same attacks as Dry Bones, and revive in 1 turn like the Baleful Bones, but have two new attacks. Head Heave has them toss their head onto a target to deal constant damage for three turns, and Dark Flame, which injures both Mario and partner and has a high chance of inflicting Burn if not blocked.
