Unlike normal Kritters, Bones attack by swinging their bone club at the active [[Kong]]. Bones can be defeated after taking either one, two, or three hits. This is often based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Bones' head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Bones lose balance and collapse on the ground. The Kongs can instantly defeat a Bones by throwing an [[Orange]] at one (which would cause it to lose its head and left arm during the process), or by using their musical instrument.

Bones[1], also called Skeleton Kremlings[2] are skeletal Kritter enemies in Donkey Kong 64. Bones appear in Fungi Forest (in the nighttime), Creepy Castle, and in two of the later Battle Arena Pad stages of DK Isles and Creepy Castle. Unlike Kritters, Bones attack by swinging their bone club at the player character, but take one to three hits to defeat; this is based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Bones' head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Bones lose balance and collapse on the ground. A Bones is instantly defeated from an Orange, costing the Bones its head and left arm in the process, or from a musical instrument move.

Profiles[edit]

  • Prima guide: Even without a head, these guys keep swinging, so keep your distance after hitting this toe. Punch-and-run is good tactic against these sword-bearing skeletons.[1]
