Hey, buddy, you better be careful. Heat does funny things to your head.
 
— One of the cowbones, "Pest of the West"
Character

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 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 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.
