'''Dull Bones''' are a chartreuse variant of [[Dry Bones]] first seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
'''Dull Bones''' are enemies found in [[Hooktail Castle]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are a weaker version of [[Dry Bones]] and wear green shoes. Dull Bones attack by throwing bones at [[Mario]] and his partners. Despite having very low [[Heart Point|HP]], their defense power makes them slightly harder to defeat. Despite this, they are easily taken out by simply using the [[Hammer]]. Using a [[POW Block]] is also very efficient, especially when there are many Dull Bones in battle. Unlike Dry Bones, they cannot reassemble once they are smashed. However, Dull Bones can construct other Dull Bones to help in the fight. Three of them appear in the [[Glitz Pit]] called the [[Dead Bones]]. They were also in the [[Riddle Tower]] as the weakest Dry Bones-esque enemy. They also appeared in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].


==History==
Dull Bones and [[Dark Dull Bones]] also appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Dull Bones can be found in [[The Underwhere]], [[Castle Bleck]] and in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. They behave very similar to Dry Bones and can throw bones, they are also very weak against [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]], although overall, they are much stronger in this game than they were in the predecessor.
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PMTTYD Dull Bones Swarm.png|left|200px|thumb|The Dull Bones army]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' along with its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]], Dull Bones are weaker than a Dry Bones and appear commonly in [[Hooktail Castle]], appearing among many identical lifeless piles. They attack by throwing bones at [[Mario]] and his partners. Despite having very low [[Heart Point|HP]], their defense power makes them slightly harder to defeat. Still, they are easily taken out by simply using the [[Hammer]]. Using a [[POW Block]] or [[Koops]]'s [[Power Shell]] is also very efficient, especially when there are many Dull Bones in battle. Unlike Dry Bones, they cannot reassemble once they are down. However, Dull Bones can construct other Dull Bones to help in the battle. A stronger variant, the [[Red Bones]], appears as a mini-boss and summons an enormous horde of Dull Bones to repel Mario, though these are not fought in the typical way and instead must be pushed through. Three of them later appear in the [[Glitz Pit]] called [[The Dead Bones]]. One is also seen at the [[Palace of Shadow Tower]], a sub-dungeon of the [[Palace of Shadow]], as the weakest Dry Bones-esque enemy, which must be defeated first. Dull Bones also appear in the first ten floors of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. They are also potential members of the [[Audience]], where they have the gimmick of only providing [[Star Power]] when [[Appeal|appealing]].


In the remake, Dull Bones in the audience use modern Dry Bones talking sounds, although the voice clips for dialogue do not. A large horde of Dull Bones also appears alongside some [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s in the remake's ending credits. Shortly after appearing onstage, they are scared off by [[Hooktail]].
====''Super Paper Mario''====
Dull Bones also appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they are now stronger than Dry Bones and can be found in [[The Underwhere]], [[Castle Bleck]], and in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Unlike Dry Bones, Dull Bones can throw bones to attack. They are weak against [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]] and [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]]'s explosion attack. A shadowy version called the [[Dark Dull Bones]] appears in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].
===Nintendo Monopoly===
Several Dull Bones make a cameo appearance in the [[Nintendo Monopoly]] board game.
