- “Brrrrooo ha ha ha ha... A touching scene, to be sure.”
- —Bonechill, Super Paper Mario
Bonechill is a boss in Super Paper Mario. He can fire ice bullets from the large cannon he sits upon, and he has icy breath that can make icicles on the ceiling. He was stuck in an unknown prison in The Underwhere along with his Skellobit army. Count Bleck set him free to defeat Mario (who was the hero of legend as told in the Light Prognosticus); he failed and was shattered to bits. It is implied that he was once a Nimbi, particularly by his speech, the small white wings on his back and his tattle.
Battle
In battle, Bonechill has only two moves: his freezing breath, and a cannon that shoots lumps of ice. If he freezes one of the heroes with his breath, they will start taking 4 damage points a second, which is larger than any other freezing power in the game. He can also use his breath to freeze the ceiling to create icicles that will fall and damage the player if they are standing underneath. These icicles can be picked up and thrown with Thoreau at Bonechill's head to damage him.
The blocks of ice fired from Bonechill's cannon can be easily avoided, but can also be thrown to damage him. When he takes damage, blocks will fall off his face. Bonechill can also be defeated by using Luigi's Super Jump technique, if the player aims for the head. It is possible to defeat him with only one use of this attack.
Personality
While his personality is not shown as much as that of others, there are some defining traits. Bonechill speaks eloquently (a possible hint of his former Nimbi status) and is somewhat arrogant. He looks with disdain upon the Nimbis, and is quick to let loose with his signature "Brrrrooo ha ha ha ha..." laugh. It is unclear whether he is connected to Count Bleck, or simply trying to prevent Mario from taking the Pure Heart as thanks for being freed from The Underwhere.
