Elite Dry Bones
An Elite Dry Bones from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.
First appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)
Latest appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (2017)
Variant of Dry Bones
Troopea

Elite Dry Bones are enemies in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. They appear in Teehee Valley on the path to Popple's hideout, and are stronger counterparts to Dry Bones found along Hoohoo Mountain. Elite Dry Bones have a similar appearance, with the addition of shells and a slightly purple tint all over their body.

The original English localization simply named it Dry Bones, though the enemy was named differently in other languages, such as Garon in Japanese, which was also the name used by Prima Games.[1] The remake gives the Elite Dry Bones its current name.

Battle[edit]

Elite Dry Bones use the same head-tossing attack as their counterparts, dealing more damage and possibly poisoning the Mario Bros. if it connects. Its shell also reduces damage from any non-jump attacks to one; they can also use the Troopea's tackle attack, which can still be countered by jumping and used to deflect its shell back at other enemies.
