Log | A Koopa Troopa that became a skeleton. It throws bones to attack and builds buddies to help it fight. | ||||||
| Tattle | That's a Dull Bones. Sort of a skeleton thing. It was a Koopa Troopa...once. Max HP is 1, Attack is 2, and Defense is 1. These creeps throw bones to attack. Oh, and they build reinforcements, too! Attacks that can strike multiple Dull Bones at once are the most effective. | |||||||
