- “Bone Dragon hates a pounding headache as much as egg on his face.”
- —Message Block in the Bone Dragon Pit,Yoshi's Story
Bone Dragons are large hydra-like dragon skeletons thatYoshis encounter in theBone Dragon Pit inYoshi's Story. Bone Dragons usually block a Yoshi's way, and to get past one, the Yoshi has to either throweggs at its head orground-pound it, with either method taking two hits to defeat the Bone Dragon. Bone Dragons are not completely defenseless, however, as they can attack the Yoshis by occasionally spitting a fireball at them. In a couple of cases, a Yoshi encounters a three-headed Bone Dragon, complete with a body. Touching the body does not hurt the Yoshi. Each of the heads takes two hits, and defeating the Bone Dragon earns the Yoshi threemelons.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has asticker of a Bone Dragon that raises the strength of attacks that involve biting by thirteen. It can be used byYoshi,Wario,Pokémon Trainer, andWolf only.
