“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 enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They 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 summon Dull Bones more often. They are the only ones with blue eyes, and they are able to command Dull Bones. Only one appears in Hooktail Castle and another for a certain puzzle in the Palace of Shadow's Riddle Tower, although the tattle of a Red Bones can be found in Frankly's trash can after Chapter 1. The Japanese name and their field tattle in the French version indicate that they are red due to being bloodstained.

Log This ugly, red Dull Bones is stronger than a normal Dull Bones. Even if its HP drops to 0, it can come back to life.
Tattle That's a Red Bones! A little TOO red, I think. No fashion sense, y'know? Max HP is 5, Attack is 3, and Defense is 1. Unlike your average Dull Bones, even if you pound it to O[sic] HP and it crumbles... It totally might revive! Like a zombie! My advice is to get rid of all the Dull Bones, then attack the Red Bones. Oh, and one more thing! Once its friends start to fall, it may create some more!

Field Tattle

Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on Red Bones only in Hooktail Castle before Mario examines it.

  • "What a creepy pile of bones. I mean, they're ALL creepy, but this one's SUPER-creepy! I don't really feel like taking a look at it, but if we don't, we'll never get farther..."
