Zombone
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Zombone is the skeletal counterpart and second form of the Czar Dragon. After the former's defeat at the hands of Mario and his party, he falls and becomes submerged in the lava underneath him, which brings about the form of Zombone.
While Zombone has stronger attacks than the Czar Dragon, he has less defense. He is also vulnerable to thunder attacks. He no longer has the power to use fire attacks or summon Helios either.
Trivia
- Czar Dragon's death and re-birth as Zombone is similar to Bowser's death and return as Dry Bowser in New Super Mario Bros.
- Its name is a portmanteau of "zombie" and "bone".
- It highly resembles the Bone Dragon, Bonetail and Bonechill.
- "Zombone" was also the name of an enemy in the game Final Fantasy VI for the SNES, also developed by Square. Czar Dragon also got his name from a deleted superboss of the same name found in Final Fantasy VI's coding.
