A Bony Beetle is the skeleton version of a Buzzy Beetle in Super Mario World. They walk around, stop, then stick out spikes. They also are immune to Fireballs , so timing is critical.

They are later seen in Paper Mario, with a complete makeover, resembling grey Spinies with yellow spikes, making people confused if its a dead Buzzy Beetle, dead Spiny, or just a different type of enemy.

They're defeated basically the same way as Dry Bones, but harder, so whack them with the Hammer often when fighting them.
