'''Bonechill''' is a minor villain in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' and the boss of Chapter 7. He is an undead dragon with a large, blue-scaled head, six small, white-feathered wings on his back, and a large golden cannon with two wheels for a lower body. He is the leader of the [[Skellobit]] army and attempts a takeover of [[The Overthere]]. According to [[The InterNed]], his theme is called "Bonechill Appears".

[[Tippi]]'s tattle says that Bonechill may've once been a [[Nimbi]], which is supported by the fact that he speaks in antiquated English like them and has feathered wings on his back. This fits into the overall motif of [[The Underwhere]] and The Overthere, which draw heavily from both Ancient Greek mythology and the Christian religion. In particular, the concept of a fallen angel (Nimbi) is inspired by the Biblical story of [[Wikipedia:Lucifer|Lucifer]], who became the devil after betraying God. Furthermore, in [[wikipedia:Dante Alighieri|Dante]]'s ''[[wikipedia:Inferno (Dante)|Inferno]]'' (of the epic Italian poem, the ''[[wikipedia:Divine Comedy|Divine Comedy]]''), Lucifer (now known as Satan) is depicted as a giant, six-winged beast imprisoned in ice in the deepest circle of Hell. This is all paralleled by how Bonechill has six wings, was imprisoned deep below the Underwhere, and is a self-styled "master of the cold dark" who is "something of an evil celebrity in certain circles of the Underwhere". Similarly, his being released during an apocalyptic event (the emergence of [[The Void]]) may be derived from the [[wikipedia:Book of Revelation|Book of Revelation]], where Satan escapes from hell and he and his army are battled and defeated in heaven.
