'''Bonetail''' is a large, skeletal dragon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' residing at the bottom of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. She is the older sister of [[Gloomtail]] and [[Hooktail]]. Unlike her still-living siblings, she is an undead dragon, having died of unknown reasons. She was once a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]], but it is never stated why or how Bonetail came to reside at the bottom of the Pit. According to [[Grifty]], Bonetail, along with her two siblings, went around the world terrorizing people some time before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind [[The Thousand-Year Door]]. Bonetail is depicted as male in the original English localization, but female in every other version, including the English version of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]]. | '''Bonetail''' is a large, skeletal dragon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' residing at the bottom of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

After [[Mario]] and his teammates reach the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials, Bonetail roars, making it questionable if she can talk as she never demonstrates that ability. Bonetail's many breaths cause a variety of status ailments in addition to dealing damage. Her blue breath can [[Frozen|freeze]] Mario, green breath can cause [[Confused|confusion]], purple can turn Mario or his partner [[Tiny (status effect)|tiny]], and white can inflict [[sleep]]. All of her fire breath attacks can be avoided with [[Shell Shield]] or simply guarding. If Mario defeats Bonetail, she coughs up a chest containing the [[Return Postage]] [[badge]]. | |||

Bonetail is much stronger than her younger siblings, Hooktail and Gloomtail, and even more than the Shadow Queen. She is the strongest boss in the game, but only offers one star point after defeat; Bonetail can restore 20 HP when having lower HP, and has the most HP out of any enemy. Additionally, Bonetail has the same default attack and defense stats as Gloomtail, with other buffs added throughout the fight. However, Bonetail does not have all of Gloomtail's attacks, like his earthquake attack or Megabreath. | |||

In the Nintendo Switch remake, [[Whacka]] will become the new final boss of the Pit if he is driven out of [[Keelhaul Key]] and the Shadow Queen has been defeated. | ||
