- “He's a-comin'. Can ya hear 'im? Those gears and gyros, clickin' and whirrin' like the devil himself! He's after me chest! That fiendish cyborg an' his band of cutthroats! *groan* But they'll have to pry it from ol' Billy Bones' cold dead fingers before I-”

Billy Bones is the overarching protagonist of Disney's 2002 animated film Treasure Planet. He is an alien space pirate pilot that resembles a salamander or reptile.
Role in the film[]
At some point before his appearance, Billy found the map to Treasure Planet, but is then targeted by John Silver and his crew. He manages to flee them, but his old space-ship was heavily damaged and was forced to make a crash-landing on a nearby planet.
He arrives at the Benbow Inn when his ship crashes right outside. Jim Hawkins rescues him from the wreckage, and he produces the map to Treasure Planet from a chest, and tells Jim Hawkins to "beware the cyborg", but the trauma inflicted on Bones' body from the crash results in his death soon after his arrival. Almost as soon as he has died, the Benbow Inn is raided by the pirates he was fleeing from.
He is next mentioned by Jim Hawkins when he suspects John Silver of being the cyborg mentioned, who asks him about Billy Bones to see if it gets any reaction to which Silver lies and says that he doesn't know anyone by the name of Billy Bones.
Trivia[]
- In the original novel, Bones stayed at the inn for some days before being tracked down by the pirates and became friends with Jim.
