Dry Bones

**Dry Bones** is the main antagonist of the first season (and secondary antagonist of the second season) of The Yoshi Show. He is the former archenemy of Yoshi who plots to kill him, along with Lindsey Walker. He is voiced by Gabriel Combs.

## Profile

#### Physical description

He ppears very similar to Koopa Troopa and Yoshi, that being because he is a deformed Koopa who became a skeleton and joined a race of Dry Bones turtles, and changed his name to Dry Bones. He has gray skin, a red(ish) shell, white gloves, and orange/white shoes.

#### Personality traits

Like most Dry Bones creatures, Dry Bones is violent and evil, mostly due to his vow for revenge on the Mushroom Kingdom.

## Abilities

All Dry Bones can be capable of rebuilding their bodies after being hurt. This outstanding process takes place only a few seconds after being stomped on. The player can defeat Dry Bones for good, but it takes magic, bombs, an ice flower or Penguin suit, shell collision, or a possession of a star to do so. You can also break him and knock a body part off to a lower ledge or lava, but the remains won't stay permanently. While in the mainstream series, Dry Bones are immune to Fireballs, Dry Bones are also very susceptible to fire-based attacks as shown by how in *Paper Mario*, fire attacks are super-effective against them..

## Biography

#### Birth and Career

It is rumored that Dry Bones was born sometime in 1989, during the restructuring of Princess Peach's castle. He was known to be kind, curious, and childish during his teen years, similar to Yoshi. He eventually joined forces with the Mushroom Kingdom as a security guard to enforce the building. He was against the Koopa tribe at the time.

#### Revenge on the Mushroom Kingdom

After a prank caused by Toad, Dry Bones began to vow revenge on the entire Mushroom Kingdom. He then began to attack Peach and Toad, only to be stopped by Mario. Years Later, he attacked Yoshi and Lindsey Walker, as an act of revenge against Princess Peach and knowing her love for the Yoshi tribe.

#### Faked Death

Dry Bones was pushed off the balcony but also dragged down with Mario, who sacrificed himself to save Yoshi.

#### Team-Up with Iggy

One year later, Dry Bones becomes allies with Iggy, a son of Bowser. He stays on the Koopa airship, where they search for Mario's phone to track Luigi. They arrive and steal the phone from Yoshi and his friends, who board the airship and steal the phone back.

After Yoshi and his friends successfully find Luigi, they return to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Iggy captures Luigi and attempts to get him to join the Koopa tribe. Eventually, they capture the heroes and hold them captive on the airship. During the season finale, Iggy is killed after being thrown off the airship, but Dry Bones survives, going into hiding.

#### Kamek's Resurrection

At the end of the finale, it is revealed that Dry Bones once again survived and is holding Mario captive. He then performs a ritual to resurrect Kamek, the leader of the Magikoopa tribe.

## Physical Appearance

In Super Mario Bros. 3 and the DIC Entertainment Mariocartoons, Dry Bones appears as a quadruped, due to standing on all fours, and never standing upright.
