Bones are naturally spawning objects that can be found around Hound Mounds or certain Set Pieces such as the Disused Beefalo Pen Trap.
Players are to be wary around Bones, as they may indicate the presence of Hound Mounds nearby, which will spawn numerous aggressive Hounds that will attack the player or the Bones may be part of traps.
Reign of Giants[ ]
In the Reign of Giants DLC, Bones can be found randomly scattered in the Desert Biome . They can also be hammered for Bone Shards . Type 3 bone piece (skull) has a 50% chance to also drop a Hound's Tooth .
