Elite Dry Bones (originally known as Dry Bones) is an enemy in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. In the original English version, it shares its name with the Dry Bones species it is based on; it was named differently in other languages, such as Garon in Japanese, which was also the name used by Prima Games.

These Dry Bones can be battled in Teehee Valley; they are an upgraded version of the common Dry Bones found along Hoohoo Mountain and, unlike their weaker cousins, have purple shells and a purple tint all over their body. This stronger variation has the same attack pattern as the weaker, but its attacks are more damaging and will possibly poison the Brothers if an attack connects; its shell also reduces damage from any attack that's not a jump to one. Furthermore, they can use the Troopea's tackle attack, which can be used to deflect its shell back at other enemies in the same way.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they are renamed Elite Dry Bones.
