Dry Bones

Dry Bones is the main antagonist of The Yoshi franchise. He is the archenemy of Yoshi who plots to kill him, along with Lindsey Walker. He is portrayed by Gabriel Combs.

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..

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.

Death
Dry Bones was pushed off the balcony but also dragged down with Mario, who sacrificed himself to save Yoshi in the process. Dry Bones was burried in Bowser's Fury, a dark world filled only with Koopas, and the Koopa Kids promised to Avenge him.

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.
