The '''cowbones''' are two characters who first appear in the episode "[[Pest of the West]]."

==Description==
They are skulls of some land animals with white horns and three visible teeth. Their appearance is similar to a bull's skull.

==Role in series==
==="Pest of the West"===
When [[SpongeBuck SquarePants|SpongeBuck]] gets kicked out of the [[Krusty Kantina]] by [[Dead Eye Plankton]], he ends up in a desert with his coffin being broken. This is where the cowbones show up, one of them warning SpongeBob that the heat provokes hallucinations. A second cowbone then comes in and tells SpongeBuck not to listen to the other cowbone, claiming that the other cowbone is crazy. They all laugh, and then [[Pecos Patrick]] comes in and tells SpongeBuck that the cowbones are funny but lazy.

Both cowbones would also appear in the epilogue of the episode, during the "[[Idiot Friends]]" song.

==="[[Hide and Then What Happens?]]"===
A cowbone can be seen on the back wall while {{Link|SpongeBob}} is at [[The End of the World]].

==="[[A Skin Wrinkle in Time]]"===
A cowbone appears on [[Cowboy 1]]'s belt during the [[Dead Eye Gulch]] scene.

==Role in game==
The cowbones are around [[Wild West Jellyfish Fields]] and are a running gag in the level. If the player interacts with the cowbone, they will speak to the player. They are pretty common around the map.
