Red Bones

“You'll go no farther, and from this moment on... You'll be nothing but bones!”

—Red Bones, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Red Bones are stronger than Dull Bones but not as strong as Dry Bones. They act the same as others in the Bones family, except Red Bones seem to summon Dull Bones more often. They're the only ones with blue eyes, and they seem to be able to command Dull Bones. As stated above, they can create new Dull Bones, which can make battles cumbersome. They only appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where they are present only in Hooktail Castle and a certain puzzle in the Palace of Shadow's Riddle Tower.
