Due to being undead, skeletal Koopa Troopas, Dry Bones are naturally immune to lava and all forms of fire. However, this trait is somewhat inconsistent. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, Dry Bones are unharmed by lava, but if its head is submerged in lava, it takes longer for it to reassemble itself; in ''New Super Mario Bros.

Dry Bones usually cannot be defeated permanently, since they always reattach their head to its body in a matter of seconds. This results in Dry Bones' defensive qualities in most ''Super Mario'' sports games, due to its small size and excellent survivability, while sacrificing a lot of power and offense. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' games, defense is Dry Bones' best stat, though ''Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars'' and the ''Paper Mario'' games take this trait further, with the former game giving Dry Bones infinite health, and the latter games having them respawn a few minutes after a battle. Sometimes, Dry Bones is also portrayed as a technique character. Dry Bones generally attack their foes by throwing bones at them, a trait that first appeared in ''Super Mario World''. ''Mario Strikers Charged'' gives Dry Bones bizarre abilities such as teleportation and electrokinesis, which are used in his [[deke]] and [[Skill Shot]] respectively. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', the playable Dry Bones has been shown to be able to purposefully crumble istelf, fly its parts into the air, and reassemble midair, doing so during its [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]]. ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'' gives Dry Bones associations with fire and darkness. | Dry Bones usually cannot be defeated permanently, since they always reattach their head to its body in a matter of seconds.
