Source A bipedal dodongo is a baby dodongo that has grown but not yet reached reproductive maturity. Although it is the equivalent of a child and hasn't even fully developed mobile limbs, this monster's fangs and fire breath are more than capable of ripping and roasting the most formidable of creatures. Despite being relatively slow and clumsy for its size, this dodongo hunts endlessly to spur its growth into adulthood. Relatively few bipedal dodongos thrive into the next stage of their life cycle, the king dodongo. Due to combination of size, minimal sapience and relatively big numbers, some soldiers of "Forces of evil" managed to use Bipedal Dodongos and bigger stages as mounts - though, they usually act independently, uncontrolled, Bipedal Dodongo is too chaotic to be controlled - even more so for later growth stages. |
