As an undead version of Bowser, Dry Bowser has largely the same abilities, most notably his fire breath, while also possessing the near-indestructible nature of Dry Bones. His fire breath has appeared blue in some games. Dry Bowser also has the ability to throw bones at his foes and stomp on them with a high jump. Dry Bowser is also notable for his large howl that can raise lava in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Bowser has previously been seen falling in lava in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' without showing his apparent demise. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''Super Mario 3D Land'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' however, Bowser wasn't affected when falling in [[lava]] this could have something to do with the varying temperatures of the lava.
