'''Bone Dragons''' are large dinosaur skeletons that [[Yoshis]] encounter underground in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They spit fire and can sometimes be found in groups of three. Their weak spot is found on their head, meaning a Yoshi will want to [[Jump]] on top of them and [[Ground Pound]] to defeat them. Another way to defeat them is to hit them a couple times with [[egg]]s.*
'''Bone Dragons''' are large hydra-like dragon skeletons that [[Yoshi (species)|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 [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s at its head or [[Ground Pound|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. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi. Each of the heads takes two hits, and defeating the Bone Dragon earns Yoshi three [[melon]]s.

Bone Dragons resemble skeletons of the monster from Greek mythology known as the ''hydra'', a monster with multiple heads. In fact, in the beta version of ''Yoshi's Story'', Bone Dragons weren't bones at all, but full-fledged purple hydras.

—Message Block in the Bone Dragon Pit, Yoshi's Story

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. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi. Each of the heads takes two hits, and defeating the Bone Dragon earns Yoshi three melons.

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 by Yoshi, Wario, Pokémon Trainer, and Wolf only.
