| | '''Bone Dragons''' are large dinosaur skeletons that [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshies]] encounter underground in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Bone Dragons spit fire and can sometimes be found in groups of three. The weak spot of a Bone Dragon is found on their head, meaning a Yoshi will want to [[Jump]] on top of them and [[Ground Pound]] to defeat them. Another way to defeat a Bone Dragon is to hit them multiple times with [[egg]]s. |

| '''Bone Dragons''' are large hydra-like dragon skeletons that [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] encounter in the [[Bone Dragon Pit]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Bone Dragons usually block a Yoshi's way, and to get past one, the Yoshi has to either throw [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s at its head or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] it, with either method taking two hits to defeat the Bone Dragon. Bone Dragons are not completely defenseless, however, as they can attack the Yoshis by occasionally spitting a fireball at them. In a couple of cases, a Yoshi encounters a three-headed Bone Dragon, complete with a body. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi. Each of the heads takes two hits, and defeating the Bone Dragon earns Yoshi three [[melon]]s.
| | An underground cavern on [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]], called the [[Bone Dragon Pit]] is also explored in ''Yoshi's Story''; as it's name would imply, the Bone Dragon Pit is infested with Bone Dragons. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a [[sticker]] of a Bone Dragon that raises attack by thirteen. It can only be used by Yoshi, [[Wario]] and [[Pokemon Trainer]]. |

| ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Bone Dragon that raises the strength of attacks that involve biting by thirteen. It can be used by [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[smashwiki:Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]], and [[smashwiki:Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]] only.
