Dry Bone



Dry Bones (also known as Skeleton Koopas and Dry Bones Troopa[citation needed]) are skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas mainly found in towers and castles. These undead Koopas often collapse when attacked, but they soon revive themselves and become normal once again (however there are some methods to permanently kill them). Dry Bones first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, in which sprites of them are edited Koopa Troopa sprites. They have since become a staple in Mario spin-off games. Dry Bones is ordinarily a lightweight character in games and is often accompanied by Boo. The Dry Bones emblem in spin-offs is a side-view of their heads.
