'''Bonetail''' is a large, skeletal dragon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' residing at the bottom of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. She is the older sister of [[Gloomtail]] and [[Hooktail]]. Unlike her still-living siblings, she is an undead dragon, having died of unknown reasons. She was once a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]], but it is never stated why or how Bonetail came to reside at the bottom of the Pit. According to [[Grifty]], Bonetail, along with her two siblings, went around the world terrorizing people some time before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind [[The Thousand-Year Door]]. Bonetail is depicted as male in the original English localization, but female in every other version, including the English version of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]].
==History==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
After [[Mario]] and his teammates reach the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials, Bonetail roars, and her many breaths during battle cause a variety of status ailments in addition to dealing damage. Her blue breath can [[Frozen|freeze]] Mario, green breath can cause [[Confused|confusion]], purple can turn Mario or his partner [[Tiny (status effect)|tiny]], and white can inflict [[sleep]]. All of her breath attacks can be avoided with [[Shell Shield]] or simply guarding. If Mario defeats Bonetail, she coughs up a chest containing the [[Return Postage]] [[badge]].


'''Bonetail''' is an optional boss first seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It resides at the bottom of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. It is the older sibling of [[Gloomtail]] and [[Hooktail]]. Unlike its still-living siblings, it is an undead dragon, having died of unknown reasons. It was once a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]], but it is never stated why or how Bonetail came to reside at the bottom of the Pit. According to [[Grifty]], Bonetail, along with its two siblings, went around the world terrorizing people some time before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind [[The Thousand-Year Door]]. Bonetail is depicted as male in the original English localization, but female in every other version, including the English version of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]].
Bonetail is much stronger than her younger siblings, Hooktail and Gloomtail. She is the strongest boss in the game, being stronger than the Shadow Queen, but only offers one [[Star Point]] after defeat; Bonetail can restore 20 HP when having lower HP and has the most HP out of any enemy. Additionally, Bonetail has the same default attack and defense stats as Gloomtail, with other buffs added throughout the fight. However, Bonetail does not have all of Gloomtail's attacks, like his earthquake attack or Megabreath.


After [[Mario]] and his teammates reach the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials, Bonetail roars, making it questionable if it can talk as she never demonstrates that ability. Bonetail's many breaths cause a variety of status ailments in addition to dealing damage, depending on the color. The cyan breath can [[Frozen|freeze]] the opponents, green breath can cause [[Confused|confusion]], purple can turn its opponents [[Tiny (status effect)|tiny]], and white can inflict [[sleep]]. All of the mentioned colored breaths can be avoided with [[Shell Shield]] or simply [[superguard]]ing. After Mario defeats Bonetail, a big treasure chest containing the [[Return Postage]] [[badge]] will appear.
In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], a clear bonus of 999 coins is given upon defeating Bonetail. The color of Bonetail's confusion breath has also been changed from green to pink.


Bonetail is much stronger than her younger siblings, Hooktail and Gloomtail, and even more than the Shadow Queen. She is the strongest boss in the game, but only offers one star point after defeat; Bonetail can restore 20 HP when having lower HP, and has the most HP out of any enemy. Additionally, Bonetail has the same default attack and defense stats as Gloomtail, with other buffs added throughout the fight. However, Bonetail does not have all of Gloomtail's attacks, like his earthquake attack or Megabreath.
Once defeated, Bonetail cannot be fought again and will be absent if Mario returns to the bottom of the Pit. Nothing remains in her room except the open chest and the ambient music that plays in the room after she is defeated. In the Nintendo Switch remake, [[Whacka]] will become the new final boss of the Pit if he is driven out of [[Keelhaul Key]] and the player has received the "[[Mailbox SP#RDM Extra Issue|RDM Extra Issue]]" email.

===Strategy===
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (Nintendo Switch)===
Bonetail has 50 HP higher than the main storyline's final boss, the Shadow Queen, considering it to be a superboss. It is recommended to be at level 30 or higher, meaning that you'll be at the Superstar Rank, and the [[audience]] capacity will be at 200. During your attacks and other moves, pressing the button at the right timing will trigger the [[Stylish move|Stylish]] command, helping refuel the Star Power meter, especially with the crowd at maximum capacity. It is also recommended to complete Chapter 7 and have the [[Supernova]] move listed in the Special Moves roster. If Mario and his partner are equipped with the [[Feeling Fine]] and [[Feeling Fine P]] badges, they won't receive any status conditions from Bonetail's breath attacks. Bonetail's moves can be really hard to Superguard, so timing is important by all accounts. In addition with having the [[Strange Sack]] you retrieved earlier, you may want to have a stockpile of supplies, which feature [[Jelly Ultra]]s, [[Zess Deluxe]]s, and [[Life Shroom]]s. Be sure to also get your party members to the Ultra Rank and have them use whatever techniques are the strongest, although this will consume some FP. Using Supernova is also a decisive technique, but keep doing the Stylish command during the moves to refuel the Star Power meter to do another Supernova.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*If the player returns to the 100th floor after beating Bonetail, quiet and eerie music plays in the room.
*As a defeatable, standalone boss by default with no minions to summon, and along with [[Whacka]] in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Bonetail is the only boss Mario cannot defeat with a single jump (performed by a failed action Jump command) or hammer blow strengthened by [[Power Rush]] badges.
*Along with [[Sir Grodus]] and the [[Shadow Queen]]'s first phase, Bonetail cannot be defeated in a single turn using Mario only with his non-FP attacks strengthened by [[Power Rush]] badges.
**Among these two, Bonetail is the only boss Mario cannot defeat alone in one turn without FP-based attacks, such as the [[Power Bounce]] badge by performing three jumps in one move.

Bonetail is a large, skeletal dragon in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door residing at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials. She is the older sister of Gloomtail and Hooktail. Unlike her still-living siblings, she is an undead dragon, having died of unknown reasons. She was once a pet of the Shadow Queen, but it is never stated why or how Bonetail came to reside at the bottom of the Pit. According to Grifty, Bonetail, along with her two siblings, went around the world terrorizing people some time before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind The Thousand-Year Door. Bonetail is depicted as male in the original English localization, but female in every other version, including the English version of the Nintendo Switch remake.

History[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

After Mario and his teammates reach the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials, Bonetail roars, and her many breaths during battle cause a variety of status ailments in addition to dealing damage. Her blue breath can freeze Mario, green breath can cause confusion, purple can turn Mario or his partner tiny, and white can inflict sleep. All of her breath attacks can be avoided with Shell Shield or simply guarding. If Mario defeats Bonetail, she coughs up a chest containing the Return Postage badge.

Bonetail is much stronger than her younger siblings, Hooktail and Gloomtail. She is the strongest boss in the game, being stronger than the Shadow Queen, but only offers one Star Point after defeat; Bonetail can restore 20 HP when having lower HP and has the most HP out of any enemy. Additionally, Bonetail has the same default attack and defense stats as Gloomtail, with other buffs added throughout the fight. However, Bonetail does not have all of Gloomtail's attacks, like his earthquake attack or Megabreath.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, a clear bonus of 999 coins is given upon defeating Bonetail. The color of Bonetail's confusion breath has also been changed from green to pink.

Once defeated, Bonetail cannot be fought again and will be absent if Mario returns to the bottom of the Pit. Nothing remains in her room except the open chest and the ambient music that plays in the room after she is defeated. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Whacka will become the new final boss of the Pit if he is driven out of Keelhaul Key and the player has received the "RDM Extra Issue" email.

At the beginning of the fight, Mario's partner makes a comment regarding Bonetail:

  • Goombella: "Wow! What a freak!"
  • Koops: "Yikes! What a grump!"
  • Flurrie: "Mercy! Such anger!"
  • Yoshi Kid: "Whoa! What a psycho!" (GCN) / "Whoa! What a monster!" (Switch)
  • Vivian: "Wow! What a grouch!"
  • Bobbery: "Rather a crabby sort, eh?"
  • Ms. Mowz: "My! What a crab!"
