Baby Dodongo

These are found in Dodongo's Cavern in OoT. The Baby Dodongo (ベビードドンゴ, Bebii Dodongo) is a fairly harmless but annoying foe which can be easily defeated by simply using the sword. It will burrow up underground, so be cautious as it is rather quick in its movements. After it has been defeated, it will explode. This explosion can be used strategically if the player does not possess bombs yet.

These monsters only appear in the Dodongo's Cavern.

There is also a Majora's Mask version of the Baby Dodongo, which is considerably smaller and takes fewer hits to kill.
