Bony
Bonies are skeleton enemies which wander around the room and quickly throw bone projectiles at Isaac when he lines up with them.
Variants
Black Bony
Black Bonies are harder versions of Bonies that behave identically to regular Bonies, but fire three bones in a row and explode upon death. The first bone will be fired when Isaac lines up, but the second and third one may be fired at an angle towards him.
Revenant
Revenants are variants of Bonies that appear in the Mausoleum and Gehenna. Revenants wander around the room randomly, occasionally stopping to shoot a stream of flames at Isaac. These flames have limited range, and are blocked by obstacles.
Quad Revenant
Quad Revenants act similarly to normal Revenants, but they shoot a 4-way flamethrower that rotates slowly.
Maze Roamer
Maze Roamers are Gehenna-exclusive variants of Bonies that shoot eyeballs at Isaac when lined up. They always spawn in pairs, with their movements and attacks being mirrored between each other. When one dies, the other becomes angry and begins directly pursuing Isaac. The opposite Maze Roamer can be determined by its blood stained rags and mirrored eye socket.
Holy Bony
Holy Bonies are larger and tougher versions of Bonies that were introduced in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance. Its bone projectiles travel in an arc and create a blue flame at its landing spot that blocks shots, deals contact damage, and despawns after some time.
