King Dodongo

 King Dodongo is a boss in. It is the second boss Link must defeat in order to obtain the Goron's Ruby from Darunia.

Strategy
Link must fight King Dodongo in a room with a lava pit in the middle. King Dodongo will attack by sucking in a massive amount of air to blow out fire, or by roll into a ball and attempt to run Link over.

While it is sucking in air, Link can take out one of his own Bombs or one from a Bomb Flower nearby, and throw it into its mouth. The explosion will cause him to get stunned, moment when it is vulnerable to Sword attacks. It then rears up, rolls into a ball, and tries to run over Link. In order to avoid this, Link can either stand on the small slope between the lava and the arena, stand in one of the corners, or simply hide beneath or behind the Shield. When King Dodongo hits the wall at the other end of the arena, unfolding and repeating the process again. When defeated, King Dodongo curls into a ball and rolls into the lava pit, frying himself to a crisp, leaving a Heart Container.

Hyrule Warriors
In, King Dodongo appears as the boss of The Armies of Ruin, Ganondorf's Return, and The Dragon of the Caves stages, where it features golden scales and two red horns at both sides of its head, red claws, and red crystals along it's back and joints. It also appears as the boss of The Water Temple scenario, where it appears in its Ocarina of Time appearance. It also retains the same behavior from Ocarina of Time, rolling up into a ball to attack and smashing through walls. When it begins a powerful fireball attack, usually after it's fire breath, it is vulnerable to Bombs thrown down its throat as it sucks in air, which stun and expose its critical point gauge. It can also roar, dealing minor damage, jump or smash to create a shock wave, and occasionally make a swipe when it turns around.

Link finishes him off by plunging his sword into King Dodongo's neck.

King Dodongo's material drops are King Dodongo's Claws (silver) or King Dodongo's Crystal (gold). Both versions of King Dodongo drop the same materials.
