Template:Enemy Dodongos (pronounced /dɵdɒŋˈgoʊ/ də-dong-GOH)[1] are recurring enemies in the Template:LZS.
Characteristics
Dodongos appear as bipedal, monstrous lizards in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and gecko-like creatures in Twilight Princess. Physically, these creatures have very tough hides, ribbed with scales that are usally green and grey. They serve as strong armor that protects them from any frontl attack, however their tails are genraly exposed leaving them open for attack when their distracted. In the same vein, Dodongos also have very large mouths in proportion to their bodies. These grand cavities enable them to suck in air to blow streams of flames, which is their primary form of attack. However this also makes their mouths the species' primary vulnerable site. A Bomb can be thrown down their gaping mouths, which will explode from within, heavily damaging the creature. For this reason, Dodongos are widely known for their weakness to Bombs. The best opportunity to throw the explosives is when these enemies suck in air in preparation for their fiery attacks, which will also inhale the thrown Bomb, in Twilight Princess, an Arrow may also be shot into the gaping mouth of a Dodongo to inflict it internal damage as well.
The sizes of Dodongo range greatly between games and regions. In Majora's Mask, two sizes of Dodongo are known to exist in Termina: the smaller variants in the North-East area of Termina Field, and the much larger sizes to the North-West section of the field. These Dodongos reward Link with large quantities of Rupees upon defeat; the big Dodongo yields a Purple Rupee when destroyed, and a Red Rupee for a regular Dodongo. There are also two large Dodongos found in a Secret Grotto near the entrance to Ikana Canyon, which defeating them earns Link 100 Rupees and a Piece of Heart from a chest nearby.
Despite the dangers they pose, the scales of a Dodongo are also a valuable resource. Gorons use them to make their heat-resistant Goron Tunics, one of which Link can purchase in Ocarina of Time.[2] The stomach linings of Dodongos are also used to make Bomb Bags as well.[3]
Non-canon appearances

Etymology
The name Dodongo could be derived from "Dodon", Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of an explosion.
