![]() Source A rare baby dodongo is able to live into adolescence to become a bipedal dodongo, and a rare biped is able to thrive into full adulthood as a king. Fitting to its name, a king dodongo is usually the apex predator in whatever caverns or ruins it seeks to dominate. Its lair is often filled with younger dodongos who both serve their parent: the king. These younglings are protected by the sheer presence of the king itself, as its roars and utter power are known to clear almost any other creatures that would bring harm its offspring. |
