Volvagia

Volvagia is a enormous dragon that is the boss of the Fire Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It also appeared in Super Mario Bros: Warriors of the Mushroom Kingdom where it is from Volvagia's Temple as the fourth boss of Volcano Mountain.

Appearance and Biology.

Volvagia is a serpentine dragon armoured in red scales. He boasts two forelimbs equipped with claws and his cranium is covered, presumably, by a helmet-like exoskeleton. A fiery mane streaming from his neck is capable of inflicting injuries when he whips his head. Although Volvagia lacks wings, he is capable of flight.

The dragon inhabits environments of intense heat filled with molten magma. He spends his time submerged in the magma and will occasionally emerge to assail intruders with his fire breath.

Strategy.

As Mario steps onto the main octangal platform in the boss room, the room shakes and the small rectangular platform behind him sinks into the lava. Then, out of one of the holes on the main platform emerges Volvagia. It flies around the room, whilst breathing out fire, before entering another hole.

The battle is designed akin to a Whac-A-Mole game, as there are nine holes, and Mario must whack the dragon when it comes out using your sword with the mega slice ability so it deals more damage. On the battlefield, there are pits of lava that Volvagia bursts out to attack Mario. Its head and upper body pops out from the pits that are spitting fire. When appearing from a pit, Volvagia swings its fire hair around to cause damage.
