'''Red Bones''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They are slightly stronger than [[Dull Bones]], and if their HP reaches zero, they can come back to life after a few turns unless finished off by fire, lightning, or explosive elements. They act the same as others in the Dry Bones family, except a Red Bones can summon some Dull Bones slightly more frequently. They resemble Dull Bones but have a pink skull, hands, and belly, red shoes and shell, and cyan eyes. One Red Bones appears as a mini-boss in [[Hooktail Castle]] and another appears as a standard enemy for a certain puzzle in the [[Palace of Shadow Tower]], although the tattle of a Red Bones can be found in [[Professor Frankly]]'s trash can after Chapter 1. The Japanese name and their field tattle in the French version indicate that they are red due to being bloodstained.

==Trivia==
*In the trailer to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', several scenes involving Red Bones were present, including one where he is selected in battle. This particular scene reveals that Red Bones was known as '''Red Koopa Skeleton''' in one of <i>Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door</i>'s [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|early versions]].
*Red Bones is the only enemy in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that is fought more than once and can have its Tattle Log entry appear in Professor Frankly's trash can. The player can obtain Red Bones' Tattle Log entry after defeating it in Chapter 1, even though the player is forced to fight another Red Bones in the Palace of Shadow Tower.
*Red Bones is the only enemy in the game to have a susceptibility to the [[Burn]] status ailment that is between 0% and 100%.
*In the tattle for Red Bones in the orginal game, the "0" representing its HP is mistakenly written as the letter "O".
