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 GiantsEdit

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.

Don't Starve TogetherEdit

In Don't Starve Together, Bones can also be found in Caves, typically in the Blue Mushtree Forest and in the Stalagmite biomes. Similar to the surface world variety, they also signal danger in the caves, as they are often surrounded with nests of Dangling Depth Dwellers.
