Dry bones are skeletal undead koopas, created when a koopa's spirit stays in its body and animates its bones. This process is usually performed with the magic of Bowser's Minions. However, dry bones will sometimes animate on their own when the spirit is "stuck" in the body. For unknown reasons, this is much more likely to happen in desert areas. Dry bones are well-known for their ability to reassemble from nearly any damage, so adventurers know to retreat or slip past them if they have no way to permanently deal with them. Dry bones are not mindless, and most are in league with Bowser's Minions, but some simply want to take down anyone who would disturb their resting places. |
