Notes

• The Sword Blue Armored Bones deals by far the most amount of damage out of all armored bone variants.
• In Don't dig up(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Get fixed boi(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) worlds, Blue Armored Bones will drop the Katana instead of the Keybrand.
• For the banner the kill counts of all variants are added up.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Blue Armored Bones: "Disciplined and relentless, the Marching Bones unceasingly pursue their goals, sundering anything, or anyone, in their way."
