Bone-Kritters are semi-common enemies found in [[Creepy Castle]] and [[Fungi Forest]] at night. Unlike normal Kritters who attack by biting and punching Bone-Kritters attack by swinging a bone club that seems to be a part of their body. Bone-Kritters can be defeated by simply pummeling them, interestingly whenever a Bone-Kritter is hit with an attack one of their body parts fall off.

Bones[1] 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]
