Bone Dragons are large hydra-like dragon skeletons that Yoshis encounter in the Bone Dragon Pit in Yoshi's Story. Bone Dragons usually block a Yoshi's way, and to get past one, the Yoshi has to either throw eggs at its head or ground-pound it, with either method taking two hits to defeat the Bone Dragon. Bone Dragons are not completely defenseless, however, as they can attack the Yoshis by occasionally spitting a fireball at them.
In a couple of cases, a Yoshi encounters a three-headed Bone Dragon, complete with a body. Each of the heads takes two hits, and the Yoshi receives three melons when the Bone Dragon is defeated. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a sticker of a Bone Dragon that raises the strength of attacks that involve biting by thirteen. It can be used only by Yoshi, Wario, Pokémon Trainer, and Wolf.

Trivia
- In an early version of Yoshi's Story, Bone Dragons were not skeletal; they were purple-and-orange-colored and multi-headed and had only two big teeth.
- A Bone Dragon-like creature makes a cameo in Snowflake Lake in Mario Party 6 and Pyramid Park in Mario Party 7. Both of these, however, have horns and more rectangular faces.
