King Totomesu

King Totomesu is a large sphinx-like lion who is the boss of Birabuto Kingdom in Super Mario Land. But he is also said to be the third boss of Dry Desert Ruins in Super Mario Bros: Warriors of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Appearance and Biology.

King Totomesu is a large sphinx-like lion who resembles a Gao but, unlike the Gao, King Totomesu is capable of moving in addition to breathing fire. King Totomesu is the first boss in Super Mario Land and is the leader of the Gao. Like the Gao, King Totomesu can breath fire, but the fire is way larger and deals more damage.

Strategy.

Mario faces King Totomesu at the end of Gao Temple in which you first see him as a statue. Then, however, Kamek comes in and waves his wand at the statue blasting magic at it. But once done, the statue will crack and King Totomesu would be free starting the battle. In the game, King Totomesu's fight works like the battle with Bunson the Hot Dog in Yoshi's Woolly World. In battle, he attacks by attempting to breath fire and then jump attempting to stomp on Mario. And then after, King Totomesu attempts to jump on the wall and breathes fireballs at Mario at which direction he is going. For the final hit, King Totomesu starts becoming weak and turns back into a statue, ending the fight.
