The Skeleton Merchant
A player throwing Bones to attack Target Dummies.
Bones are crafting materials and consumable ranged weapons. They are dropped by Angry Bones, Dark Casters, and Cursed Skulls, which spawn in the Dungeon.
Bones are greatly affected by gravity, and arc similarly to Throwing Knives and Shurikens. Of these three consumable ranged weapons, Bones have the least range (Throwing Knives having the greatest).
Furthermore, Bones can be placed as blocks using the Bone Wand, upon which they become Bone Blocks.

Notes
- The Skeleton Merchant will use Bones to defend himself if needed. The bones thrown by him are not retrievable.
- In Expert Mode, Skeletons can throw bones at the player, making them far more dangerous.
- In a drunk world(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), Bones are obtainable before defeating Skeletron, as Dungeon enemies can spawn prior to defeating the boss.
- Since 1.4.1(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), Bones cannot be stored in ammo slots because the Bone Glove changed from a ranged weapon to an accessory. Any Bones placed in the ammo slots prior to the update will still be located there.
