'''Dogadon''' | '''Dogadon''' is a large dragonfly with the body of a dragon, and he is both the second and fifth boss of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Dogadon is first fought by [[Diddy Kong]] in [[Angry Aztec]] and later [[Chunky Kong]] in [[Fungi Forest]]. | ||
Dogadon has four legs that each have three claws and spikes lined up on his spine and long arrowhead tail. Dogadon is fought in the same location twice: in an enclosed subterranean location with a large, square-shaped stone column taking up most of the area. The column is partially submerged into the lava. However, the walls appear differently from the first to second battle. | Dogadon has four legs that each have three claws and spikes lined up on his spine and long arrowhead tail.

When Chunky enters the boss fight, he hears stomping and nervously looks around. Dogadon emerges out from the lava, slowly climbs back onto the platform, then creeps behind Chunky, and finally lets out a roar. Chunky turns around and grovels in fear. Dogadon flies to a corner of the stage, and the battle starts. | When Chunky enters the boss fight, he hears stomping and nervously looks around.

The entire battle is mostly the same as in the first battle, but with a few exceptions. After taking damage once, Dogadon can perform a shockwave attack after finishing his fireball assault; the shockwave attack can be interrupted by a TNT Barrel though.

After taking damage once, Dogadon can perform a shockwave attack after finishing his fireball assault; the shockwave attack can be interrupted by a TNT Barrel though. When Dogadon takes damage twice, after he shoots fifteen fireballs at the player, he'll inhale deeply, with yellow rays appearing from his chest, and spit out a large blast of fire. It shapes itself into a large wall of fire that slowly moves toward Chunky; he can only avoid it by jumping around it from a ledge. Chunky must then quickly throw another TNT Barrel at Dogadon, who, like usual, falls into the lava and moves to the adjacent corner. | ||
After returning on the stage, Dogadon flies in a circle, then stomps on the platform three times. The stage platform starts to slowly sink in the lava, and the screen begins to vibrate. Dogadon points at Chunky, appearing to be scolding him. The boss battle essentially becomes a timed one, as Chunky must defeat Dogadon before sinking into the lava, which is fatal upon contact. It takes about 100 seconds for the platform to sink in the lava entirely. | After returning on the stage, Dogadon flies in a circle, then stomps on the platform three times.

*The battle against Dogadon is similar to that of [[Army Dillo]], as they are both fought twice, both blast fireballs for a main attack (blasting it faster for each round), both can be attacked with a TNT Barrel, and both utilize additional attacks (such as a shockwave) during their rematch. | *The battle against Dogadon is similar to that of [[Army Dillo]], as they are both fought twice, both blast fireballs for a main attack (blasting it faster for each round), both can be attacked with a TNT Barrel, and both utilize additional attacks (such as a shockwave) during their rematch. | ||
