Dogadon

Dogadon is a giant dragon that is the boss of Angry Aztec and Fungi Forest in Donkey Kong 64. It is also seen in Super Mario Bros: Warriors of the Mushroom Kingdom where it is from Red Hot Caverns as the third boss of Volcano Mountain.

Appearance and Biology.

Dogadon is an orange and black dragon, giant in comparison to Mario and his friends. He has four legs with three claws on each foot, spikes lining his spine and his long arrowhead tail, and dragonfly-like wings.

Strategy.

As Mario steps onto the main square-shaped platform of the boss room, the room shakes and the small circular platforms sink into the lava. Then, out of the lava below the main platform emerges Dogadon. Dogadon will hover in the air and spit fireballs at Mario. For this, when Dogadon starts to roar, Mario can throw a bomb inside his mouth, damaging the beast and causing him to fall into the lava. Mario will have to hit Dogadon four times in order to defeat him, and when Mario does the second hit, Dogadon will start getting angry and roaring as loud as he could, and now he can shoot fireballs faster and even shoot larger fireballs at Mario. And after the fourth hit, Dogadon starts to fall into the lava causing him to sink, ending the fight.
